A
nother quarter, another record for Apple. For
the three-month period ending 30 June, Apple
posted its best third-quarter numbers ever,
with revenue of $53.3 billion, a 17 percent year-over-
year growth. Earnings per share came in at a whopping
$2.34, up 40 percent from last year and blowing away
analyst estimates of $2.19.

Now for the important numbers. In Q3 2018, which
saw no significant product releases, Apple sold 41
million iPhones (about the same as last year), 11.6
million iPads (slightly more than last year), and just
3.7 million Macs (representing a 13 percent year-
over-year decline). However, the new MacBook didn’t
release until after the quarter ended, so Apple will
likely make up that shortfall next quarter. While
Apple doesn’t break out iPhone sales by model,
it clearly sold a bunch of iPhone X devices, as the
average selling price was $724 (around £559), more
than $100 (around £77) higher than last year and
just $4 (around £3) less than the prior quarter, which
Tim Cook said was dominated by the iPhone X.
Speaking of next quarter, Apple expects to report
revenue between $60 billion and $62 billion, which
would represent yet another record. Last year Apple
posted revenue of $52.6 billion in Q4. Perhaps more
importantly, it gives some indication that at least some
new iPhones will go on sale in September.
Apple posted growth in every geographic
region, particularly in greater China where it revealing
a 19 percent growth for the segment after reporting a
10 percent loss last year.
In Apple’s ‘Other’ category, which includes AirPods,
Apple Watch, Apple TV, and HomePod, Apple posted
revenue of $3.7 billion, a 40 percent year-over-year
increase. Cook specifically called out Apple’s wearable
products, saying that the record-setting results were
driven by results were driven by “continued strong
sales of iPhone, Services and Wearables” representing
a 60 percent year-over-year boost. He also noted Apple
