Apple Inc. has announced robust financial results for the quarter ended September 27, 2025, reporting a net profit of $27.5 billion. This impressive performance was primarily driven by strong consumer demand for its newly launched iPhone lineup and the sustained growth of its lucrative services business. The company's revenue reached $102.5 billion, marking an 8% increase year-over-year and surpassing Wall Street's projections of $102.24 billion, according to LSEG data. Earnings per share stood at $1.85, comfortably exceeding analyst expectations of $1.77 per share.

A significant contributor to Apple’s quarterly success was the robust initial sales performance of the iPhone 17 series, which became available in September.

However, this figure was slightly below analyst expectations of $50.19 billion and marked a deceleration compared to the 13% growth recorded in the preceding quarter.

Conversely, sales in Greater China experienced a decline, falling to $14.49 billion and missing estimates of $16.24 billion. Apple attributed this shortfall to regulatory delays that necessitated the postponement of the iPhone 17 Air's launch until October 22. This particular model exclusively features an e-SIM for wireless connectivity, which contributed to the delay. Despite this regional challenge, Apple largely maintained its pricing strategy on new models, even amid headwinds from US trade tariffs affecting devices manufactured in India and China.

The services segment continued to be a pivotal growth engine for Apple, achieving a record high with $28.75 billion in revenue, exceeding expectations of $28.17 billion. This segment encompasses offerings such as Apple TV+, iCloud, and the App Store. CEO Tim Cook expressed his pride in reporting a
