Apple Sales Boom 36% in June Quarter as iPhone Sale Rebound

Apple posted $81.4 billion in revenue for the June 2021 quarter on better-than-expected iPhone sales, as its services division continued strong growth.

The tech giant’s iPhone sales hit $39.57 billion in the most recent quarter, up 50%, handily beating analyst expectations of $34 billion, per FactSet. Apple CFO Luca Maestri had told analysts in April that the company was expecting a larger-than-usual sequential sales decline because of supply-chain shortages.
