As normal, the iPhone led the best way. iPhone gross sales made up virtually 47 p.c of Apple’s complete income, and iPhone income of $38.9 billion was up 47 p.c yr over yr. But it is value remembering that final yr, the iPhone 12 sequence was delayed and did not go on sale till October (or November, within the case of the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max). This yr, all 4 iPhone 13 fashions went on sale concurrently, in mid-September. While that is just a few weeks of the quarter, it doubtless helped gas that huge progress.
The iPad, too, had a powerful quarter. While income of $8.25 billion makes it the smallest of Apple’s 5 primary product classes (iPhone, iPad, Mac, Services, and “Wearables, Home, and Accessories”) the iPad class grew 21 p.c yr over yr. The Mac, however, was flat — income of $9.2 billion was solely up two p.c — however that was simply sufficient for Apple to say it was a brand new all-time excessive for the Mac.
Apple’s Services enterprise has been rising steadily for years, so it is not stunning that this quarter’s income of $18.3 billion was an all-time excessive, as effectively. But for the Mac, it is fascinating to see it hit that high-water mark with out new MacE book Pro fashions available on the market to assist transfer the needle.

The wearables, dwelling, and equipment group additionally grew in sturdy however not spectacular style (up 12 p.c). But identical to with the Mac, subsequent quarter might be large for that phase — the brand new Apple Watch Series 7 and third-generation AirPods simply went on sale and it is easy to think about these merchandise making a big effect.
As normal, Apple is holding a name with buyers at 5PM ET, and we’ll be listening in to see if CEO Tim Cook has something of notice to share this quarter.
