"We believe Apple's ability to post the highest gross margin in a decade despite seeing revenue decline Y/Y is impressive, and moving forward, we expect gross margins to improve as mix, FX, commodities, and logistics all work in Apple's favor through the rest of 2023 and into FY24," Morgan Stanley's note said.

Apple's user spend levels are also keeping Morgan Stanley bullish, proof that "the underlying drivers of Apple's model remain robust." Investors have apparently embraced Morgan Stanley's appraisal of Apple's durability as a long-term investment. Apple shares were off by a little over 2% this morning despite the sales miss, recouping losses from a 4% drop Thursday night. The company also reported misses on the top and bottom lines, beating analyst expectations only in iPad and services revenue.
