Apple closed the final quarter of 2025 with record iPhone sales, thanks to strong demand for the iPhone 17 series. The company reported $144 billion in revenue, up 16 percent compared to the same period last year.
The iPhone continues to lead Apple’s business, with growth across major markets including China, Europe, the Americas, and Japan. India also set a new quarterly record.
Other product categories were mixed. Mac sales fell by just over 7 percent, while wearables and accessories, which include the Apple Watch and AirPods, dropped about 3 percent.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company is in “supply chase mode” as demand for the iPhone 17 exceeded expectations. He also confirmed a partnership with Google to bring Gemini AI to Siri, though details remain limited.
Apple plans to spend $16 billion on infrastructure and retail expansion this year. The figure is modest compared to Microsoft’s $37 billion quarterly investment in AI, but it shows Apple’s cautious approach to new technologies.
With strong demand for the iPhone 17 and a measured entry into AI, Apple is balancing innovation with financial discipline.
