Foreign media: Apple Inc.'s revenue broke through $100 billion for the first time in the third quarter of 2025, reaching $102.5 billion, an 8% year-on-year increase, with profits surging 86% to $27.5 billion.
The design updates of the iPhone 17 series, especially the changes in the iPhone Air and iPhone Pro, helped boost iPhone sales by 6% to $49 billion. Although sales in the Chinese market fell by 3.6%, CEO Tim Cook expects a recovery this quarter.
In addition, Apple's service revenue grew by 15% to $28.8 billion, mainly due to cooperation with Google. However, Apple has invested less in artificial intelligence, and its stock has only risen 11% this year, lower than that of Google and Microsoft. Meanwhile, Apple paid $1.1 billion in tariffs and expects tariff costs to rise to $1.4 billion this quarter.
