During Apple's latest earnings call, CEO John Ternus and Chief Financial Officer Kevan Parekh revealed a series of remarkable figures highlighting the company's financial performance, particularly its iPhone revenue, services business and vast global ecosystem.

iPhone generates $57.6 billion in quarterly revenue

Apple reported total revenue of $114.5 billion for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, an increase of 12% year on year and a new record for a quarter ending in September.

The iPhone remained Apple's most important revenue generator, bringing in $57.6 billion, up 17% from the same period last year.

The figures demonstrate the enduring appeal of Apple's flagship product, even during an unusual launch year.

Unlike previous years, Apple introduced the iPhone Duo alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max without releasing a standard iPhone model.

Despite the change in its product lineup, iPhone sales continued to grow strongly, reinforcing the device's central role in Apple's business.

Apple's services division remained another major growth driver, generating $31.6 billion in revenue, an increase of 10% and a new all-time high.

The division includes services such as the App Store, Apple Music, iCloud and Apple's payment ecosystem.

Among other hardware categories, Mac revenue reached $10.8 billion, up 24% year on year, making it one of Apple's fastest-growing business segments during the quarter.

Meanwhile, the Wearables, Home and Accessories division generated $8.3 billion, down 8%.

The decline was largely attributed to a challenging year-on-year comparison, as Apple had introduced the Watch SE 3 and AirPods Pro 3 during the corresponding period a year earlier.

iPad revenue totaled $6.2 billion, continuing to make a substantial contribution to the company's overall sales.

After accounting for expenses, Apple reported quarterly net profit of $30.7 billion.

Apple's ecosystem surpasses 2.5 billion active devices worldwide

While Apple's financial figures demonstrate its economic strength, its user statistics reveal the enormous scale of its influence on the global technology industry.

CEO John Ternus emphasized that Apple's activities are centered on users.

According to him, the success of technological innovation should be measured not only by revenue but also by its tangible impact on people's lives.

One of the most striking figures was the number of active Apple devices worldwide, which has surpassed 2.5 billion.

This vast installed base provides a powerful foundation for the company's services business, supporting continued engagement with platforms ranging from the App Store and Apple Music to iCloud and digital payments.

During the quarter ending in September, the App Store recorded an average of nearly one billion visits per week, its highest level ever.

Such substantial user traffic further strengthens Apple's position in the global market for app distribution and digital services.

Apple TV has also expanded its influence in the entertainment industry.

Productions on the streaming platform have received more than 900 awards from over 3,800 nominations, reflecting its growing presence in premium television and film content.

Another notable figure concerns Apple's virtual assistant, Siri, which processes more than 2.5 billion requests every day.

However, Apple did not disclose how many of those requests were answered quickly or accurately, or how many were successfully resolved.

Taken together, the 20 figures disclosed by Apple illustrate that the company's strength extends far beyond iPhone sales.

Its business has evolved into an extensive ecosystem connecting billions of devices with millions of developers, businesses and users around the world.

In particular, the continued expansion of its services division and enormous installed base of active devices are creating long-term competitive advantages.

As consumers acquire more Apple products, they become increasingly likely to continue using services within the same ecosystem.

This strengthens customer retention and provides Apple with recurring revenue streams beyond hardware sales, helping sustain its financial performance even as individual product cycles change.
