Apple has posted its strongest first quarter on record, with iPhone sales emerging as the company’s biggest growth driver.
According to its latest earnings report, the tech giant recorded unprecedented demand for its flagship device, fueled largely by strong performances in key international markets, including China and India.

Speaking during the company’s earnings call, Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook disclosed that the iPhone achieved its best quarterly results ever, setting new revenue records across all geographic regions.

The company generated about eighty-five billion dollars from iPhone sales in the quarter, a significant rise from sixty-nine billion dollars recorded during the same period last year.

China played a central role in the surge, with Cook describing the period as the best iPhone quarter in the region’s history.
He attributed the growth to heightened consumer interest in the newly released iPhone 17, unveiled in September, which has outperformed previous models.

Apple’s revenue in Greater China climbed sharply from eighteen point five billion dollars a year earlier to twenty-five point five billion dollars, supported by strong double-digit growth in physical store traffic.

India also delivered a standout performance, as Apple recorded its highest quarterly revenue in the country during the December period.
Cook noted that the company achieved record sales across iPhone, Mac, iPad, and services in the market, describing the quarter as exceptional.
He emphasized India’s strategic importance, citing its position as the world’s second-largest smartphone market and fourth-largest personal computer market.

Beyond iPhone sales, Apple reported broad-based growth across all regions. Revenue in the Americas increased from fifty-two point six billion dollars to fifty-eight point five billion dollars, while European sales rose from thirty-three point eight billion dollars to thirty-eight point one billion dollars, underscoring a strong global demand for Apple’s products and services.
