Apple Inc. delivered a record-breaking performance in the October-December 2025 quarter, with CEO Tim Cook highlighting significant growth in India. Globally, the company reported $143.7 billion in revenue, marking its strongest quarter ever, with net profits reaching $42.09 billion and earnings per share soaring to $2.84, surpassing analyst expectations of $138.4 billion revenue and $2.68 EPS.
iPhone sales formed the backbone of this historic quarter, generating $85.27 billion in revenue. The Mac and iPad segments contributed $8.39 billion and $8.50 billion respectively, while wearables and accessories brought in $11.49 billion. Apple’s Services division, including Apple Music, iCloud, TV+, the App Store, and payments, achieved an all-time high of $30.01 billion.
India emerged as a standout market during this period. According to CounterPoint Research, iPhones accounted for 9 out of every 100 smartphones sold in the country, marking a new record for Apple. Despite selling fewer units than some competitors, Apple captured 28% of the total smartphone spending in India due to the premium pricing of its devices.
Tim Cook noted that most Apple buyers in India were first-time customers, underscoring the vast potential for growth in the region. With India being the world’s second-largest smartphone market and fourth-largest PC market, Cook highlighted that Apple still holds a modest market share, indicating considerable room for expansion. CFO Kevan Parekh also observed strong double-digit growth in Apple’s installed base in India, describing it as “really encouraging.”
The record quarter demonstrates Apple’s global dominance across devices and services, with India poised to play an increasingly critical role in its growth strategy. The company remains optimistic about capitalizing on the country’s expanding technology adoption and premium consumer base, projecting further opportunities in the years ahead.
