The company's success can be attributed to strong iPhone sales and robust revenue from services. Apple CEO John Ternus, who assumed leadership from Tim Cook in September, expressed optimism about the upcoming holiday season, mentioning the company's ambitious new product lineup. This included three new phones: the 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, and the first folding smartphone, the Duo, alongside two new desktop computers. During October, Apple introduced a smart display with Siri AI, called HomeView, and a MacBook Pro featuring a touchscreen for the first time.
