Apple reported its highest quarterly iPhone sales ever, helping to boost overall revenue despite weaker performance in other divisions.
In results published on Thursday, the US tech giant said total revenue rose to $144bn (£82.5bn) in the final three months of last year, driven by record sales of the iPhone.
Apple said iPhone demand reached an all-time high during the quarter, supported by improved sales in China as well as continued strength in Europe, America and Japan.
Strong iPhone performance offset slower growth in other areas of the business. Sales of wearables and accessories, including products like the Apple Watch and wireless earbuds, fell about 3 percent compared to the previous year.
Mac computer sales fell just over 7 percent during the same period, reflecting weaker demand for personal computers as consumers and businesses continue to delay hardware upgrades.
The mixed performance underscores Apple’s continued reliance on the iPhone as its primary growth engine, even as the company seeks to diversify revenue across services, hardware and new technologies.
