Apple Sets September-Quarter Record as iPhone 17 Demand Outstrips Supply

Guidance points to double‑digit holiday growth despite tariff headwinds.

Overview

  • Apple reported $102.5 billion in revenue and $27.5 billion in net income for the September quarter, with earnings of $1.85 per share and a 47.2% gross margin.
  • iPhone revenue reached about $49.03 billion as several iPhone 17 models remained supply constrained, which executives said reflected underestimated demand with only a few days of sales captured.
  • Services revenue hit an all-time high of $28.75 billion, providing significant support to profitability.
  • India delivered an all-time revenue record, while Greater China declined about 4% year over year, which Apple attributed primarily to supply constraints and said it expects to return to growth.
  • Apple projected December-quarter revenue growth of 10–12% with double-digit iPhone gains, absorbing about $1.4 billion in tariffs as shares rose and Goldman Sachs lifted its price target.
