Apple shipped its 3 billionth iPhone

Apple has been the target of a fair amount of criticism over the past year, from its AI missteps to a strong distaste for its new design ethos. But the numbers don’t lie, and if Apple knows how to do anything it’s sell iPhones. Specifically, three billion of them, as CEO Tim Cook announced on the company’s earnings call today.

Apple’s Earnings Are Unlikely to Change the Game

Analysts surveyed by FactSet expect the company to post adjusted earnings of $1.43 a share on revenue of $89.36 billion. Those numbers would mark a slight increase from the year-ago period, when Apple reported earnings of $1.40 a share on revenue of $85.78 billion.
