The enduring demand for the iPhone helps the technology giant defy it's | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
Live from London, that's our top story on Wednesday 28th October. | :00:19. | :00:43. | |

Just use the hashtag BBCBizLive. A packed agenda today, let's get | :01:27. | :01:44. | |
cracking. The world's largest tech giant is | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
claiming its most successful year ever, after posting encouraging | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
fourth quarter numbers. The company's revenue reached $51.5 | :01:52. | :02:01. | |
billion for the three months to September, | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
up more than 20% It meant the company made a profit | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
of over 11 billion dollars. It's thanks largely to strong iPhone | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
sales - the firm sold more than 48 million | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
of them in the last three months. And despite slowing economic growth | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
in China, sales there have nearly doubled to over 12.5 | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
billion dollars - that's nearly I am joined by a technical analyst. | :02:25. | :02:43. | |
Apple claiming 2015 to be its most successful year ever recorded, | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
income of 11.1 billion US dollars. Incredible year in total, generating | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
$234 billion in revenue over the last 12 months. The increase last | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
year was more than the total revenue of 19 companies in the Fortune 500, | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
showing the sheer scale of the Apple business at the moment. It's really | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
about the iPhone. At its heart Apple remains a device manufacturer. It's | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
a bit unfair but you could call it the iPhone company, the iPhone | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
accounts for two thirds of its revenue. IPhone sales, selling more | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
than 48 million in the last three months. Sales of the iPad are | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
flagging. Yes, but it's a much less important product. The iPhone is | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
what's the growth. But the iPad will not replace the iPhone in our hearts | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
any time soon. Sales were down, so the company is hoping the new iPad | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
professional launching next month will reinvigorate sales. Right now, | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
I think we are swapping tablets for larger smartphones. Another small | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
but high profile section of the business, we don't know how many | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
Apple watches were sold in the quarter. In the raft of numbers, | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
according to the Chief Executive, as much as 30% of iPhone buyers are | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
Google android converts. The highest ever conversion rate. That's very | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
important, the one question is, I will be iPhone business develop, | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
with the iPhone seven coming out next year. -- how will the iPhone. | :04:24. | :04:32. | |
Asking about China. We often feel Apple is quite US centric, but 62% | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
of revenues generated outside the US with China accounting for a huge | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
chunk of that despite concerns about the slowdown. It doesn't seem to | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
have affected Apple. Sales of the iPhone up 120% year-on-year with | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
overall sales doubling year-on-year, and they are opening more Apple | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
stores. China market is looking very strong. Sales in China almost double | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
what they took last year. Thank you for your analysis. Apple shares went | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
up in half an hour's trade. Normally they go down. Not this time. | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
And sticking with the tech theme - Twitter disappointed investors with | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
Its revenues for the third quarter rose, but less than expected | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
and the number of active users only grew by 3 million since June. | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
This is Twitter's first earnings report with founder Jack Dorsey back | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
at the helm as its permanent chief executive. | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
Twitter shares lost as much as 11 percent in after market trading. | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
China's online retailing giant AliBaba also reported its results | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
The firm posted record revenues of almost $3.5 billion | :05:40. | :05:53. | |
thanks to strong sales on mobile devices. | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
The latest results pushed up its shares, | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
Also numbers out from japanese carrier All Nippon Airways-six-month | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
net profits soared 51 percent thanks to a big jump in its international | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
business, strong inbound tourism and falling oil prices. | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
ANA Holdings, the parent company of the airline said its profit | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
in the April-September period was $448 million, while revenue rose | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
Just to take you to the business live page, to flag up a few stories | :06:16. | :06:32. | |
catching our eye. Volkswagen making lots of headlines. Registering its | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
first quarterly loss in about 15 years. This is in reaction to the | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
rigging of diesel emissions tests. The first quarterly deficit in 15 | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
years. Operating loss of just under 3.5 billion euros. That was walks | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
like a's announcement about 15 minutes ago. Offering a pre-tax loss | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
of around 2.5 billion euros. What's more on this, talking about that | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
diesel scandal, as you mentioned, and then going down as well. We can | :07:04. | :07:12. | |
see news from Barclays, giving their bosses a bumper pay package, making | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
headlines again. Barclays will have a new Chief Executive of the | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
Barclays group. A former chief executive at JP Morgan. Details on | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
his pay deal. Results coming from Nintendo. We can go to Singapore. | :07:32. | :07:40. | |
Sales are up but operating profit is not so good. Yes, we are seeing | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
mixed results from the video gaming giant. Strong sales of its new super | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
Mario game drove its revenue up nearly 20%. But net profit fell by | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
nearly the same amount and was lower than market expectations. These | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
earnings reflected the bumpy ride Nintendo has been on this year. In | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
July the company lost its pioneering Chief Executive to cancer. He was | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
leading the push for Nintendo to start making games for smartphones. | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
That has hurt Nintendo in the past, the decision to ignore mobile | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
devices and focus on gaming consoles. The company said little | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
about its future in smartphone games today, but they confirmed a gaming | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
app was scheduled to be released. Nintendo's numbers out, and it's a | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
busy day for corporate news with Japan closing up by 0.67%. Hong Kong | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
and Shanghai had a bad day. The stocks listed in Hong Kong for | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
China, their biggest drop in a month. It's predicted Wall Street | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
will be given a boost, given the news we had from Apple after the | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
closing bell last night, and it could give a real boost to Wall | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
Street when they open later. In Europe, we have mentioned | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
Volkswagen, Barclays confirming a new boss taking over. We had numbers | :09:07. | :09:16. | |
from Lloyds, BT and EE merging. As well as drinks giants merging. These | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
markets are fairly flat. And the Federal reserve has its meeting | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
today, its announcement of what interest rates will be. European and | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
Asian markets are treading water in many ways ahead of news from the US | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
Federal reserve. With more from the US. The central Bank of America | :09:37. | :09:45. | |
wraps up its annual meeting with a statement at 2pm Eastern time. Few | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
are expecting interest rates to go up, and it could be December, if not | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
next year, before we get any move. Hilton worldwide reported its | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
third-quarter earnings. The hotels have benefited from the US economic | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
recovery. Rivals, Starwood hotels, making most of its money outside | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
America, the strong dollar might be a drag for them. The results, a day | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
after reports that at least three big Chinese companies are vying to | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
buy the hotel chain. Don't forget to check out the make-up of Oreo | :10:21. | :10:27. | |
cookies, as well as PayPal also reporting this Wednesday. Plenty of | :10:28. | :10:35. | |
people reporting. Richard Dunbar, investment director at Aberdeen | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
Asset Management is with us. A flurry of earnings. What has caught | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
your eye. We are trying to see the aggregate, particularly of the US | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
earnings, halfway through the third-quarter earnings results, a | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
little bit better than expected, albeit expectations that had been | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
downgraded. We are watching the banks closely to see what happens | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
there. The tech companies are being watched closely. Some are good and | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
bad. Microsoft and Google have been good, Twitter and others, less good. | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
Same themes running through Europe and Asia. Trying to get a feel for | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
what the corporate sector is thinking about what's going on | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
throughout the world and what we have been talking about in the last | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
few weeks and months. How do you think they are interpreting this, | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
and are you with the majority expecting no news today? I think | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
everybody expects no news today. The debate is whether we get the news in | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
December or whether it is next year. The investors in the market, the | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
consensus is that any rate rises in the US will be pushed into next | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
year. Is that too late? She's reflecting a view on a very strong | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
US economy, but also a view on a slightly weaker global economy. I | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
think she's balancing those factors. If she was purely making the | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
decision on the US, she would perhaps put interest rates up | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
today, but she's taking a wider view, as the Fed is normally done. | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
On the flurry of earnings, beverage firms will be in focus because | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
Heineken reported strong sales growth in America and Europe. Sab | :12:16. | :12:25. | |
Miller is not doing so well. These companies are focused on where they | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
are doing business. Tech three Mac is focused on the e-mail urges. | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
Mergers and acquisitions has been a huge element in the last three | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
months. With Sab Miller and Inbev, they have | :12:39. | :13:03. | |
more time to grapple with that merger. The original 5pm deadline | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
today has been extended until 5pm on the 4th of November, more time to | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
nail down at megamerger. Still to come, a real gem, we will be talking | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
all things diamonds with a leader in the industry, the Chief Executive of | :13:20. | :13:31. | |
De Beers in the studio. First we moved to Lloyds, Europe's second | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
biggest bank by market value, and it has taken another 5.5 million pound | :13:36. | :13:46. | |
charge. It takes its total bill to about ?13.9 billion, more than | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
double any other bank. -- another ?5.5 billion charge. This is the | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
second largest bank in the UK and three of them are reporting this | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
week. Three of the top four. It's an interesting time to look at what is | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
happening in the underlying economy cars banks are a good pre-emptive | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
reflection of that in terms of the lending they are doing and therefore | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
the underlying profits. It's not looking too bad for Lloyds. We had | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
disappointing GDP figures from the UK yesterday, but the underlying | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
growth of the economy is not too bad. What Lloyds had content with | :14:21. | :14:29. | |
was the fact it had to put more aside by far than any other bank to | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
deal with this PPI mis-selling. ?13.9 billion. But the total amount | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
put aside was ?28 billion. It's shouldering quite a bit of the | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
burden. The regulatory environment is a bit clearer now. The regulation | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
of investment and retail banking within the bank, and the amount of | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
capital a bank has to put aside. In the coming months we might see the | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
ability to draw a line under the PPI scandal, and we might see a better | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
reflection of how banking will fare in the future. The regulators hope | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
it will be a lot more boring. Tell us about BT and EE. They are getting | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
the thumbs up regarding their tie-up. | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
It is worth saying BT has about 10 million customer, over 24 million | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
for EE, they are operating in different parts of the market. | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
Clearly the Competition and Markets Authority didn't think that | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
broadband and mobile were going to converge to the degree it caused a | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
competition problem, so it will be interesting and a big tie up. I | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
forgot to tell you what happened with Lloyds. It has gone with the | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
market. Quickly flag up this story trending on the BBC page, a quote | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
from the BT chief executive, saying we are very pleased it has been | :15:54. | :16:01. | |
The enduring demand for the iPhone helps the technology | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
giant defy its sceptics with blockbuster results - with an extra | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
And now let's get the inside track on the very sparkly | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
subject of diamonds - with De Beers CEO Philippe Mellier. | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
Founded in 1888, the De Beers group is a driving force in the diamond | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
industry with activities in exploration, mining, retail, trading | :16:24. | :16:25. | |
They're the largest supplier of diamonds onto | :16:26. | :16:27. | |
the global market in the world by value and responsible for about 35% | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
The company operates in 28 countries with mines in Botswana, Namibia, | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
But all that glitters is not gold - or diamonds. | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
Production fell 27% year on year to September and sales have fallen | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
Philippe Mellier, chief executive of De Beers Group is here. | :16:42. | :17:16. | |
Welcome. Thank you. I just want to take this back, because you joined | :17:17. | :17:27. | |
De Beers as CEO five years ago, prior to that, looking through your | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
CV you were a cars man, what attracted you to diamondses and what | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
attracted diamonds to you? And train, also, I was selling trains. I | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
was head hunted by the family at that time. They were looking for | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
somebody without any diamond knowledge, because all the CEOs | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
before me were coming from debeer, mostly South African and we are | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
living in an era where De Beers was very strong, was the only player in | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
the world of diamonds. Now, we are only 35% of the market, we are the | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
leader, and we are opening the company to competition. Not only | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
from our competitors from Russia and elsewhere but competition from other | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
luxury goods. It was important to position the company and to do a | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
little bit of a rebirth of company for the future, so that we can be | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
the leader for the next 100 years. Was it a steep learning curve for | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
you? Oh yes it was. I could bring some management skills coming from | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
a, having run big global companies before, I was pretty aware of | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
Government relations which is very important, because I have a | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
government on my board, but I didn't know diamonds. My wife knew quite a | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
bit about it! I had to learn, and I think today I am OK. I want to ask | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
you about some of the initiatives you have brought in. One that | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
interests me, the mine to demand ethos, talk me through that It is | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
very important. It's a luxury product. We mine to deMonday and, | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
and this is something -- demind, it is something we thought could be | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
possible but in the mining world we have huge investment it is difficult | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
to adapt. Since I arrived we have put in place in the mine, that is | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
very technical ways of scaling down the production when there is, the | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
demand is softening, we have what we call tailing plants we are can | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
process material that has been mined before. We can switch them on or | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
off. We have our own 30% flexibility in mines today. We can cope with any | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
demand. That is flexibility, that is key to success now with, you know, | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
the modty markets in the state they are in, many -- commodity. Many | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
competitors in mining, they are battling and being able to be | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
flexible is not something they can do. Depending on what they are | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
getting out of the ground. We are a mining company but not... We are not | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
comparing apples with apples We are consumer driven. Any type of | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
consumer driven company you have to adapt what you produce, manufacture | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
with the demand. This is what we are trying to do, in a mining company | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
which is a bit of a special world. We are getting there. Are you | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
worried about what is happening in the commodities market at the | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
moment? Of course, there is the slow down in China that we talk a lot | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
about, but also, there is becoming an increasing scarcity of diamonds | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
in the world. You and another company are if a real race to try | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
and find new diamond fields to explore, you are using technology, I | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
have been reading reports we saw a strong performance in 2014. They | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
think diamond sales will peak in 2017 but then they might drop off a | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
cliff No new mines have been found in the last 20 year, we are looking | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
for the next big mine. Some small ones have been found but not big | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
ones. The largest was in 1995. In Canada Yes, it was one of our mine, | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
so, since then, we are working with existing mines, so at constant rate | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
of production, after a window of three years we will see the | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
production going down, we are o lucky because De Beers have a long | :21:14. | :21:19. | |

Some of you have been getting in touch. This has come from Twitter. I | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
have had a message from Sebastian, this was in response to our question | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
where we asked you how much of a tech addict or Luddite you are. Do | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
you have to have the latest update? Sebastian said utility work, if it | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
does what I want it to do and I am a heavy phone user that is great for | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
me. I use a Samsung A5. Richard, are you a technology dinosaur, where are | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
you? I am at the dinosaur spectrum. Is your mobile phone this big? I am | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
happy with what I have got. Is Let us look at some of the other | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
stories. Is This caught our eye. So looking at the gulf news at the | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
economy section. Is World Bank has brought out this list, ranging the | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
best places in the world to do business. On the overall list, | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
Singapore scored number one, but this article looking at particularly | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
in this region, the Middle East and North Africa has done badly. It, the | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
UAE scored highly They are looking at things like title to assets, | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
these areas that make it easy or difficult to do business. The UAE | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
does well. The Middle East as a whole doesn't do as well as they | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
would like. I would suggest given the travails in that part of world, | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
both politically and economically, with the falling oil prices... The | :24:21. | :24:27. | |
UK came sixth. So that is not bad. Above the US and. And Germany. | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
George Osborne will be interested about that. Some much-needed good | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
news for him. Let us look at the Wall Street Journal. This is | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
interesting. So Facebook, in recognition of the fact that a huge | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
proportion of their business lies in emerging markets, where most of the | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
people they have to rely on 2 G connections. It is making its | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
employees work with 2 G internet. For an hour. To quote this article, | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
using 2 G is so onerous they couldn't subject it on their | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
employees for any longer. I suspect some of their developed world | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
customers have to put up with that performance, so maybe they are doing | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
it more for their total customer base. It is interesting firms like | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
that can be miles ahead of their, the bulk of their consumers and that | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
is what they are saying. Most of growth will be in the developing | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
world and they don't have the access to the speedy technology we | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
allegedly do. Quickly Richard, we have about 20 | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
second, BP is in all the paper, we have a lot of oil giants coming, | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
there is a real theme there Poor results not surprisingly giving the | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
halving of the oil price. We will see more of that as the results run | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
through this sector. We will have to leave it there. | :25:45. | :25:49. |
