Apple sees record quarterly revenue in India, reports strong Mac sales

The strong push comes as Apple updated its MacBook Air and iPad line-ups earlier this year with heavy focus on AI. Even though it is yet to introduce Apple Intelligence across product categories, both MacBook Air (M3) and the new iPad Air and iPad Pro saw positive reception. 

Even though the revenue from iPhones went down by 0.94 pct year-on-year to $39.30 billion. This was expected given that the new iPhones are scheduled to launch next month. 

Apple’s CFO Luca Maestri said that the previous quarter saw significant contributions from emerging markets, particularly India. He said that revenue from Mac reached $7 billion, up 2% year-over-year, driven by the popularity of the MacBook Air with the M3 chip.
