Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple Inc., stated recently that the business had a "great quarter" in India from October to December 2025. He added that the quarterly revenue spiked with the record sale of the iPhone, Mac, iPad, and even services. During the company's first-quarter global results call, Cook told analysts that Apple is still gaining ground in emerging markets, like as India, where sales increased at a "strong double-digit" rate. He added after opening the company’s fifth store in India last month, Apple aims to open another store in Mumbai soon.

India One of the Premier Tech Savvy Nations in the World: Cook

India is the world's second-largest smartphone market, Cook said, praising the country's smartphone industry. It is also the fourth-largest PC market. Apple has a little share there despite having a very good growth history. The corporation believes that we have a great possibility there. Apple is exceedingly enthusiastic about it. As per market tracker Counterpoint Research, Apple in 2025 has earned its highest ever smartphone market share both in volume (9%) and Value (28%) in India.

According to the report, the iPhone 16 was the most popular model shipped in India last year. The installed base in India has grown by double digits, which is "really encouraging," according to Apple Inc.'s chief financial officer Kevan Parekh. According to him, the number of active iPhone installations reached an all-time high, setting a new record for upgraders overall and across numerous nations, including the US, China Mainland, Japan, and India.

Why Apple is Performing so Vibrantly in India?

Cook also informed analysts that the vast majority of Indian consumers purchasing the company's iPhones, Macs, iPads, and Watches are brand-new. Thus, it speaks highly of the prospects there, he remarked. Apple experienced double-digit growth in the majority of its main markets, including the United States, Latin America, Western Europe, Greater China, India, and South Asia, when compared to the previous year.

The company’s global iPhone revenue for the last quarter was $85.3 billion. The company made $85.3 billion from iPhone sales worldwide in the most recent quarter, a 23% increase from the previous year. However, due to several launches during the previous year, Mac revenue was $8.4 billion, a 7% decrease from the previous year. According to Parekh, there has been growth in a number of emerging economies, such as Brazil, India, Malaysia, and Vietnam, despite the muted Mac revenue.
