- iPhone sales reached $57.58 billion on demand for the iPhone 18 Pro, ahead of the $56.54 billion estimate.
- Apple raised iPhone 17 prices by $100 and some MacBook prices to offset rising memory chip costs.
- Apple's $1,999 foldable iPhone Duo sold out within a week of launch, and CEO John Ternus said the company is working to make it more widely available.
- Apple reported record annual sales of $479 billion, as the company faced ongoing supply constraints and rising memory costs.
- Inventory surged 154% year-over-year to $14.54 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter as Apple stockpiled memory chips.
