From the perspective of a long-time Apple observer, the company appears to be struggling a bit. Its AI story remains weak, the promised Siri upgrade is still in the future, and the ill-conceived Liquid Glass continues to draw criticism. But you know what? People buy Apple products because the hardware is great, the ecosystem is unparalleled, and the ease of use outpaces the competition. And that\u2019s why Apple just blew past its previous Q1 revenue record, generating $143.8 billion in revenue, a whopping 16% gain over the year-ago quarter. Earnings per share rose to $2.84, an increase of 19% year over year.

The iPhone fared especially well in the Greater China market, where it posted its best quarter ever. Cook attributed its success there to \u201cproduct strength,\u201d noting double-digit growth among switchers. \u201cProduct strength\u201d is likely a coded way of saying the iPhone\u2019s sales weren\u2019t driven by government subsidies, which Apple said had been a factor in its last two earnings calls. While we\u2019re reading between the lines, Apple\u2019s gross margin increased to 48.2%, which may indicate a…<\/p>\n
