Foreign media: Apple reported that sales of iPhones in the last three months of last year set a new historical high, mainly due to the launch of the iPhone 17 series. The company's revenue increased by 16% year-on-year to $144 billion, the strongest growth since 2021, mainly driven by sales growth in the Chinese, European, American, and Japanese markets.
However, sales of Apple's wearable devices and accessories declined by about 3%, and Mac computer sales fell by 7%. Apple CEO Tim Cook said that demand for the iPhone 17 far exceeded expectations, and sales in the Indian market set a quarterly record.
Although Apple has been relatively cautious in the field of artificial intelligence, its collaboration with Google's Gemini AI will be used for future Apple AI models and updates to Siri features. Apple plans to invest $16 billion in business expansion next fiscal year, including retail stores and infrastructure construction. Compared to Microsoft's substantial investment in AI, Apple's spending appears more conservative.
