Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), one of the most valuable companies globally, leads the world in innovation with the iPhone, iPad, Mac, AirPods, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro.

As claimed by the tech giant, its installed base of active devices has hit a new all-time high across all products and geographic segments. The firm reported its best quarter ever, its fiscal 2025 first quarter, on January 30, with revenue of $124.3 billion, up 4% over the year. While the company put forward the best-ever lineup of products and services during the holiday season, it enabled unlocking new possibilities for its users with the personal intelligence system for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, Apple Intelligence, which would be available in more languages this April.

Although Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) ended up beating expectations on the top and bottom lines, it fell short on iPhone revenue. Simultaneously, sales out of Apple’s Greater China region were found to be lower than Wall Street anticipated in the quarter.⁠ Previously on fears of sluggish iPhone sales, the stock was downgraded by Jefferies and Loop Capital.
