Apple’s 2020’ results are viewed positively considering the circumstances. According to the research report:

"Notably, Apple’s revenue from other segments was projected to drop in the second and third quarters of this year after retail stores were closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. CEO Tim Cook is on record acknowledging that the company was hit by the pandemic but users now rely on Apple products to stay connected, informed, creative, and productive."

The company is set to reopen retail stores in areas that are flattening the Covid-19 curve.
