"We are incredibly excited about the strength we're seeing across our products and services," said Cook. "We expect the December quarter revenue to be the best ever for the company and the best ever for iPhone." Overall revenue is expected to grow 10 to 12 percent year over year, while iPhone revenue is expected to grow double digits.

Cook went on to say that Apple is heading into the holiday season with a "truly remarkable lineup that includes the biggest leap ever for iPhone." Apple has received a "tremendous response" to the iPhone 17 lineup despite supply constraints for some ‌iPhone 17‌ models and also iPhone 16 models before the ‌iPhone 17‌ launched.

Apple set a new iPhone September revenue record at $49 billion, up six percent year-over-year.

What’s the difference between the base iPhone 16 and 17? The storage. That’s about it.

But I thought they were failures and not selling?
No, you're confusing it with the iPhone Air.

I think holding off 120Hz display on the base iPhone finally pays off huh?

iOS 26 has made the experience way worse.
I was way happier when I got my iPhone 15 Pro Max on iOS 17 than this YUGE Mess with iPhone 17 running on iOS 26 😔 even the iPhone 13 Pro Max on iOS 15 was a way better experience in every way.
