Tim Cook passes the baton in Apple's Q3 2026 earnings call
In Apple's Q3 2026 earnings call, iPhone revenue surged to $54.25 billion, largely exceeding analyst expectations, driven by a 22% increase in sales. However, the revenue from services dropped to $30.74 billion, disappointing many experts. Tim Cook highlighted rising memory prices as a potential threat to future sales, with a tight supply chain potentially leading to increased consumer prices. This could result in decreased demand for products as economic conditions change.
