Apple Inc. has delivered a stronger-than-expected financial performance for the June 2025 quarter, posting a net profit of $23.4 billion, underscoring the company’s operational resilience despite rising geopolitical trade tensions.
Apple’s total revenue stood at $94 billion, a record high for the June quarter, supported by double-digit growth across iPhone, Mac, and Services segments. CEO Tim Cook highlighted broad-based growth across every geographic segment, affirming the tech company’s strong global reach.
iPhone revenue surged to $44.6 billion, up from $39.3 billion a year earlier. Notably, sales in mainland China rose to $15.4 billion, compared to $14.7 billion in the same period last year — despite escalating tariff tensions and production challenges in the region.

Cook confirmed that Trump-era tariffs cost Apple nearly $800 million in the quarter. Apple has been strategically pivoting its supply chain, shifting iPhone production increasingly toward India, although China remains the core production hub.
However, this diversification strategy faces new headwinds, as a 25% US import duty on Indian goods is set to take effect Friday, reflecting growing trade tensions between Washington and New Delhi after unsuccessful negotiations.
Despite a marginal decline in global smartphone shipments, Apple’s performance stood out for its stability in shipment volumes and pricing power. While iPhone unit shipments declined by 2% to 44.8 million, overall revenue per device remained elevated, reflecting premium product positioning and robust services integration.
