Management’s own words, often on a non-GAAP, constant-currency, or adjusted basis — so these can differ from the GAAP figures above (e.g. constant-currency revenue growth excludes currency swings).
Apple sustained its momentum with revenue up 17% year-over-year and EPS of $2.10 growing 22%, driven by iPhone 17 family strength and Services hitting an all-time quarterly record at $31 billion. Gross margin of 49.3% exceeded guidance range as operational efficiency and product mix offset rising memory costs that management flagged as a margin headwind going forward. Mac faced supply constraints from surging demand, and management guided for 14-17% year-over-year revenue growth in the June quarter.
