Apple Surpasses 3 Billion iPhones Shipped Amid Strong Q3 Earnings
Apple has reached a historic milestone with over 3 billion iPhones shipped since its 2007 debut, as disclosed by CEO Tim Cook during the Q3 earnings call. The company posted $94 billion in revenue, marking a 10% year-on-year increase, driven by robust iPhone performance despite a slowing global market.
The acceleration in shipment pace underscores Apple's dominance—the third billion units were achieved in just four years, compared to nine years for the first billion. Strategic supply chain diversification into India and Vietnam has mitigated tariff risks without significant consumer price impacts.
