Apple hits record India revenue in June quarter, sees $1.1 billion September quarter tariff costs overall
During the Q3 FY2025 earnings, Mr. Cook spoke of opening new stores in India and the UAE later this year.
He said the company saw iPhone growth in every geographic segment and double-digit growth in emerging markets, including India, the Middle East, South Asia, and Brazil.
"We saw an acceleration of growth around the world in the vast majority of markets we track, including greater China and many emerging markets, and we had June quarter revenue records in more than two dozen countries and regions, including the U.S., Canada, Latin America, Western Europe, the Middle East, India, and South Asia," Cook said, adding these results were driven by double-digit growth across iPhone, Mac, and services.
The situation around tariffs is "evolving", he said, adding that for the June quarter, the company incurred about $800 million of tariff-related costs.
"For the September quarter, assuming the current global tariff rates, policies, and applications do not change for the balance of the quarter, and no new tariffs are added, we estimate the impact to add about $1.1 billion to our costs. This estimate should not be used to make projections for future quarters, as there are many factors that could change, including tariff rates," he said.
He mentioned the recently-launched Apple Store online in Saudi Arabia, and said, "We couldn't be more excited to open new stores in the UAE and India later this year".
For the June quarter, the tech titan reported revenue of $94.04 billion, the 10% year-on-year growth topping Wall Street expectations, while net profit came in at $23.42 billion, up 9.2% from a year ago.
Meanwhile, the U.S. has announced a 25% tariff on India as the White House released a list of duties that Washington will levy on exports from nations across the globe. In an Executive Order titled 'Further Modifying The Reciprocal Tariff Rates', President Donald Trump announced tariff rates for nearly 70 nations around the world.

Cryptocurrency Live News & Updates : Is 'Chokepoint 3.0' Targeting Crypto Banks?
02 Aug 2025 | 11:35:12 PM IST Big banks are allegedly implementing 'Operation Chokepoint 3.0' by imposing high fees on fintech and crypto services, according to a16z's Alex Rampell. Recent discussions in the crypto space highlight significant challenges posed by traditional banks. Alex Rampell from Andreessen Horowitz warns that banks are charging exorbitant fees for accessing account data and transferring funds to crypto platforms, which could stifle competition. This follows the previous 'Chokepoint 2.0' era, where crypto businesses faced debanking pressures. Meanwhile, ONDO is currently testing critical support levels, with a potential bullish reversal if it holds above $0.83. In the corporate finance arena, Michael Saylor's Strategy has launched a Bitcoin-backed preferred stock, STRC, raising $2.5 billion, which he likens to an 'iPhone moment' for the firm. Lastly, Pepeto is emerging as a notable memecoin within Ethereum's ecosystem, combining meme culture with practical tools like zero-fee exchanges. As Chainlink experiences price fluctuations, whale activity suggests potential recovery, with a notable increase in holdings. These developments underscore the dynamic interplay between traditional finance and the evolving crypto landscape. Show more

Most iPhones sold in US made in India, says Cook
Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed on Thursday that 'majority' of iPhones sold in the US in the past quarter were made in India despite US President Donald Trump's regular rants about it. Meanwhile China, erstwhile production giant, is playing second fiddle and is used more to service non-US markets. Cook, speaking to analysts after quarterly results, said that India has been the mainstay when it comes to producing iPhones for the US, while Vietnam is the location for making other products for America such as MacBook, iPad and Watch. 'In terms of the country of origin, it's the same as I referenced last quarter. There hasn't been a change to that, which is, vast majority of iPhones sold in the US, or the majority, I should say, have a country of origin of India,' the Apple CEO said. On China, Cook said, '… the products for other international countries, vast majority of them are coming from China.' While the Trump administration imposed 25% tariffs on India, smartphones, computers, and other electronic devices are exempted from the reciprocal tariffs for now. Trump has been pushing Apple and Cook not to make the iPhones in India for meeting needs of US consumers. 'I had a little problem with Tim Cook… I said to him, my friend, I am treating you very good… but now I hear you are building all over India. I don't want you building in India,' he said during his visit to Doha in May. Cook's clear stance on India manufacturing, is being seen as a signal that Apple stays bullish on India, especially as the country is also consistent in showing strong growth in local sales. Cook said revenues in India are witnessing record growth, led by growth in sales of iPhones. India is among the high-growth markets for Apple, which recorded 10% growth globally in quarterly revenues, closing the quarter at $94 billion. 'We saw an acceleration of growth around the world in a vast majority of markets we track, including greater China and many emerging markets, and we had the June quarter revenue records in more than two dozen countries and regions, including the US, Canada, Latin America, Western Europe, the Middle East, India, and South Asia. These results were driven by double-digit growth across iPhone, Mac, and services.' The Apple CEO also said the company is in the process of expanding its retail presence in India by opening more stores. On sales, India was again amongst the high-growth countries.

Apple CEO Tim Cook willing to buy a big company but there is a twist which is...
New Delhi: Apple CEO Tim Cook has said that the company will now focus a lot more on artificial intelligence (AI) and termed it a revolution. He even went on to say that artificial intelligence is greater than the internet or smartphones. He was speaking at a rare all-hands meeting at Apple's Cupertino campus following the company's latest earnings report, where he emphasised that Apple must act swiftly to move ahead of other players in this transformative era. Cook laid out a determined roadmap that places AI at the heart of Apple's future. What did Tim Cook emphasise? 'Apple must do this. Apple will do this. This is sort of ours to grab. We will invest to do it,' said Cook as he acknowledged Apple's historical pattern of entering markets later than competitors but ultimately reshaping them with superior products. 'We've rarely been first. There was a PC before the Mac; there was a smartphone before the iPhone; there were many tablets before the iPad; there was an MP3 player before the iPod. This is how I feel about AI,' he said. What did he say about Apple Intelligence? It is noteworthy that Apple has not kept pace with rivals such as OpenAI, Alphabet, and Microsoft in publicly launching AI capabilities, but Cook displayed an intrepid confidence in the company's approach. Apple Intelligence, introduced last year, faced delays that impacted the iPhone 16 rollout, yet Cook downplayed the timeline issues, reaffirming Apple's commitment to delivering best-in-class solutions. 'To not do so would be to be left behind, and we can't do that.' How much quarterly revenue did Apple report? This meeting was reported by Bloomberg, citing sources. It came just days after Apple reported $94.04 billion in quarterly revenue, up 10% year-on-year (YoY), much above the $89.35 billion estimate of Wall Street. iPhone revenue came in much stronger than expected at $44.58 billion (up 13% YoY), setting a June-quarter record and surpassing Wall Street's $40.29 billion estimate. 'AI is one of the most profound technologies of our lifetime. And I think it will affect all devices in a significant way,' Tim Cook told analysts during the earnings call. Apple is establishing a dedicated AI server facility in Houston, indicating the gravity of the situation and how keen the company is to move up the AI market.
