APPLE shareholders will be hoping for a boost from the streaming wars when the tech giant reports its firstquarter figures this week.

The iPhone maker will issue its quarterly results tomorrow night — the first time since it launched Apple TV Plus in November.

The company has suffered a decline in sales of its flagship iPhones in recent months, and last year issued a profit warning due to a worse than expected slowdown in China.

However, Apple has sought to shift its focus towards its services division, and shares have more than doubled over the last year, taking its valuation to roughly $1.4 trillion (£1.07 trillion).
