  "account": "Apple surpassed analysts' projections for its most recent results on Monday, as the iPhone manufacturer reported record revenue for a September quarter. This success was fueled by strong sales of iPhones and growth in services revenue. In a statement, CEO John Ternus expressed optimism about the upcoming holiday season, hinting at the anticipated sales of their latest products, particularly the foldable Duo. Apple introduced three new phones in September - the 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, and the first folding phone, the Duo - alongside two new desktop computers. In October, they unveiled a new smart display powered by AI, called HomeView, and the first MacBook Pro with a touchscreen. As Apple speaks with analysts on a call later on Monday, investors will be analyzing the company's outlook for the final three months of the year.",
  "summary": "SAN FRANCISCO: Apple exceeded analysts’ expectations for its latest results on Monday when the iPhone-maker said it recorded “revenue record” for a September quarter, driven by iPhone sales and services revenue.",
