Earnings Call Summary
Apple delivered its best-ever quarter with 143.8 billion dollars in revenue, up 16 percent. iPhone surged 23 percent to 85.3 billion dollars driven by strong customer demand for the iPhone 17 lineup and record upgraders in China and India. Services hit an all-time record of 30 billion dollars, up 14 percent, while the installed base reached 2.5 billion active devices. Management highlighted Apple Intelligence features resonating with users and expanded retail presence in India as growth drivers.
