Quarterly performance
Apple has seen demand for its iPhone reach new heights, with sales growth in China outpacing all other regions.
Overall, sales of Apple products grew 17 % to $111 bn (£81 bn) in the first three months of the year, compared with the same quarter a year ago, the company said in financial results released Thursday. Sales in China were up by 28 % compared with a year ago.
Tim Cook, Apple’s outgoing chief executive, said that recent demand for the iPhone had been “extraordinary,” setting a sales record for the quarter.
Despite continued success with the iPhone, sales of Apple’s other products—including the Mac computer and wearable devices like the Apple Watch and AirPods—remained relatively flat.
