We all know Apple for being one of the companies with the highest value in the world. However, it seems that neither the RAM crisis nor the competition from Asian markets can handle it, and yesterday, January 29, they presented their quarterly results.
These results are not unexpected, but it is surprising how they can even exceed forecasts. Today we will look at that data in more depth, and what is expected from the company in future quarters, since they do not seem to have a clear ceiling.
Apple results in its last quarter
Apple started 2026 with a pretty good pace. The first quarter went very well and confirmed that the company remains in a comfortable position. He sold more than last year, made a lot of money, and showed no clear signs of weakness. Overall, it was one of those quarters that reinforce the idea that Apple knows how to keep its business stable even when the market is not up for surprises.
The iPhone was, once again, the product that held everything together. It sold a lot and achieved the best quarter in its history ($143.8 billion in revenue and a quarterly net profit of $42.1 billion). Although it is often said that people change mobile phones less or stretch their devices more, the iPhone still working. When Apple does well, it almost always starts there.
Services also played an important role. Subscriptions, in-app purchases and cloud storage continue to grow steadily. This part of the business is key because it does not depend on launching a new product every so often and provides stable income quarter after quarter.
In other areas, the picture was calmer. Mac and iPad did not stand out too much and some secondary products sold less than usual. Even so, none of this seriously affected the overall result, because the good performance of the iPhone and the services compensated without problems.
One of the data that leads us to this point is the number of active devices of the brand, which already exceeds 2.5 billionso, with so many iPhones, Macs, Apple Watches, etc., it is normal that income continues to rise, since they not only get it from their sales, but from services such as AppleCare, iCloud, Apple TV, or any payment we make in their stores.
Looking ahead to the next quarter, the company expects to continue growing and maintain high margins. In short, Apple enters 2026 strong, with a well-balanced business and no clear signs that momentum will slow down anytime soon.
We will be attentive to new products, such as the AirTag 2 that they have just launched, or the next iPhone 17e, which could be a great success, helping to ensure that all the quarters that arrive are as good, or better, than the current one, despite the fact that the release of the strong iPhone models are the ones that give more relevance to those numbers.
And you, do you have Apple products? Do you consume monthly services such as iCloud, Apple TV, etc.? All of this means that today we are talking about those numbers, which are impressive. Leave us a comment with your opinion about it.
