Apple registered $43.8 billion in iPhone revenue in the September quarter, up 3 percent year-over-year (YoY) and a new quarter record.

In the quarterly earnings report on Thursday, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the iPhone 15 was performing better in its early days than the iPhone 14 last year at this time.

“Customers are loving the entire iPhone 15 family and reviews have been off the charts,” said Cook.

The iPhone active installed base grew to a new all-time high and fiscal 2023 was another record year for switches.

The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus feature a gorgeous design and are powered by an industry-leading A17 Pro silicon chip, a durable titanium design, and the best iPhone camera system ever.

According to industry experts, Apple enjoyed a strong growth momentum during the quarter, driven by aggressive double-digit growth in its old-generation iPhones.

“The premiumization trend continued to steer Apple’s iPhone market growth,” said Prabhu Ram, Head–Industry Intelligence Group, CMR.

The Apple Services revenue also set an all-time record of $22.3 billion, up 16 percent year-over-year, with growth accelerating sequentially from the June quarter.

Mac revenue was $7.6 billion, down 34 percent year-over-year, “driven by challenging market conditions and compounded by a difficult compare in our own business”.
