Apple Global Revenue Soars to Record High, Services Continue to Shine
Apple is off to a great start in 2025, thanks to a record-breaking fourth quarter. Net revenue soared to a whopping $124.3 billion - the highest ever for the Cupertino giant - with iPhones driving 55.6% of revenue. Macs and iPads, as usual, appear to be a drop in the bucket compared to iPhones, with $8.98 and $8.088 billion in net sales respectively. Services witnessed commendable growth, adding $26.34 billion to Apple's pile.
Of course, this does not mean that the grass is all green for the company. Apple Intelligence witnessed a tumultuous launch, suffering from multiple setbacks and lukewarm reviews. Tim Cook does believe that there is still a lot of innovation on the table for the iPhone, which he revealed in a recent interview. Considering that the company is widely rumored to be preparing a major redesign for the iPhone, along with a brand-new Air/Slim variant, it does appear that this year will turn out to be quite an interesting one for iPhone enthusiasts.
The same cannot be said for the iPad, however. The overhauled M4 iPad Pro with the stunning tandem OLED display failed to move as many units as Apple had hoped, and any further updates to the iPad lineup destined for this year are likely to be internal spec bumps. The MacBook Pro is also expected to receive a major redesign, but that is not expected to take place before 2026, which is when the device is also expected to ship with an OLED display for the first time.

More importantly there don't seem to be any innovations that will change that in the post Jobs environment. Apple will make a lot of money for years to come obv.
They're yesterday's company with regards to growth and should be valued as such.
I think when this one reaches end of support, I will giving the competition a try.
They must include a lot of stuff in there that I can't think of offhand.
Should have held off of AI for one extra year, they could have save a bundle
That audience for the most part is captive to the ios ecosystem and doesn't want to leave it.
That's not bad: having 1/4th of all humanity buying your products.
Look at Tesla with a P/E of 200, continued declines in sales, continued empty promises for 7 years, and an "epic" future which is only a couple years away three years ago. And then they have the nerve to say they aren't doing good, but that epic year is only a couple of years away. What are people buying?! And then if people finally get what they paid for 7 years ago, they will feel like that is new value not value that they already expected?
At least Apple consistently delivers a product, gives straight numbers, and gives a straight outlook.
Another proof that people are stupid, sorry to say it bluntly. Not stupid for buying iPhones, but very stupid for replacing the SAME iPhone almost, every year or even every 2 years. Basically you just have a recurring fee to Apple for the same product.
We have a word in my country. Is not stupid the one who ask, is stupid the one who pays.
like I can imagine a good chunk of tpu readers upgrading something about their computer every year just cause.
