Apple reported its highest-ever India revenue for the September quarter, contributing to its global sales of $102.5 billion — the company’s best performance yet. This marked Apple’s 14th consecutive quarter of record iPhone sales in India, driven by expanding retail presence and local manufacturing. CEO Tim Cook credited strong demand for the iPhone 17 and expects momentum to continue into the December quarter. Apple CFO Kevan Parekh said iPhone revenue rose 6% year-on-year to $49 billion, with records in several emerging markets, including India.
According to IDC, Apple shipped around 5 million iPhones in Q3 2025, likely placing it among India’s top five smartphone brands, reflecting 20–25% annual growth. Analysts said discounts on older iPhone models and robust sales of the new iPhone 17 series boosted performance.
Made-in-India iPhone 17 Pro models have helped ease supply shortages and raised Apple’s average selling price as demand for premium versions increases. Analysts added that a growing base of younger consumers, including college students buying via EMI schemes, is strengthening Apple’s ecosystem in India—driving demand for iPads, Macs, and Watches—and ensuring sustained long-term growth.
