Despite geopolitical instabilities, Apple managed a double-digit growth across all its geographic segments.<\/p>\n

Apple posted its \u201cbest March quarter ever\u201d, according to outgoing CEO Tim Cook, with a revenue of $111.2bn \u2013 up 17pc year on year. The company managed a 16pc revenue jump in its previous quarter, reporting a $143.8bn \u201crecord\u201d revenue.<\/p>\n

Despite geopolitical instabilities threatening the company\u2019s supply chain, Apple, this quarter, managed a double-digit growth across all its geographic segments. Overall, net sales grew by around 16.6pc, with products and services showing 16.7pc and 16.2pc growth respectively.<\/p>\n

\u201ciPhone achieved a March quarter revenue record, fuelled by such extraordinary demand for the iPhone 17 lineup,\u201d Cook said. New additions to its product line-up this quarter include the latest in its more affordable iPhone \u2018e\u2019 series, the new iPad Air powered by its in-house M4 chips, alongside the new MacBook Neo \u2013 which saw an overall positive reception from reviewers.<\/p>\n

iPhone sales grew 21.6pc quarter over quarter to nearly $60bn, while Mac grew 5.6pc and Apple services, including iCloud, App Store and Apple Pay, grew 16.2pc.<\/p>\n

\u201cContinued strong customer demand for our products and services once again helped us achieve a new all-time high for our installed base of active devices across all major product categories and geographic segments,\u201d said Apple\u2019s chief financial officer Kevan Parekh.<\/p>\n

The quarter past generated more than $28bn in operating cash flow. Company shares rose 2.7pc in after-hours trading.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Apple announced that Cook will be stepping down as CEO after 15 years in the role, handing his position to senior vice president of hardware engineering John Ternus. In the earnings call yesterday, Cook told investors that the transition \u201cis the right one\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur roadmap is incredible,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd most importantly, we have the right leader ready to step into…<\/p>\n
