Apple Earns Rs 5.4 Lakh Crore From iPhone Sales In 90 Days

Apple reported Q4 revenue of $114.48B, beating estimates, driven by strong iPhone 18 Pro sales. iPhone revenue was $57.58B, also exceeding forecasts. Gross margin was 47.9%, slightly above expectations, but is expected to decline to 45-46% in Q1 due to rising memory costs. Mac and services revenue beat estimates, while iPad, wearables, and China sales missed.
