Apple has officially reported its highest-ever quarterly revenue in India for the quarter ending in September. The tech giant announced that along with the record-breaking overall revenue, the company also saw unprecedented performance in its Mac and services divisions within the Indian market. According to company data, the quarter marked the highest number of iPhone upgrades recorded in India to date.
This performance in the Indian market occurred during a period of robust global growth for Apple. The company set records for its September quarter across several major regions, including the Americas, Europe, Greater China, and the rest of the Asia-Pacific territory. While the company did not disclose specific revenue figures for India or provide a granular breakdown by product category for the region, the official results underscore a significant broadening of Apple's operations within the country.
On a global scale, iPhone revenue rose by 17 percent compared to the previous year, reaching 57.6 billion dollars despite various supply constraints and ongoing currency challenges. John Ternus, Apple’s CEO, noted that the company established a September-quarter record for iPhone upgrades on a worldwide basis. Furthermore, India was identified as one of the key markets, alongside the United States, China, and Japan, where the company recorded its highest number of iPhone upgrades for the full fiscal year.
The company's Mac business demonstrated strong momentum, outperforming the iPhone in terms of global growth. Global revenue for the Mac segment increased by 24 percent, totaling 10.8 billion dollars. Chief Financial Officer Kevan Parekh attributed this substantial rise in revenue to the strong market demand for the MacBook Neo and MacBook Pro models. India and Southeast Asia both reached all-time high revenue marks for the Mac business, although Apple refrained from disclosing the specific sales contribution of individual models within the Indian market.
In addition to hardware, Apple’s services division saw global revenue climb 10 percent to reach a record 31.6 billion dollars. India was among the markets where this specific business segment reached a new high. Analysts suggest that these results indicate a strategic shift in Apple’s presence in the country. Tarun Pathak, research director at Counterpoint Research, noted that India is transitioning from primarily being an iPhone growth market toward becoming a full ecosystem market for the company.
Looking ahead, market experts anticipate that this evolution in India’s consumer base will likely accelerate throughout 2027 and the following years as the company’s installed user base continues to expand. The simultaneous records across multiple business lines suggest that the iPhone remains a primary driver for attracting existing customers for upgrades, while the Mac and services businesses are currently generating more revenue in India than ever before.
As Apple continues to scale its operations, the latest quarterly figures highlight a successful execution of its strategy to deepen its footprint in one of the world's fastest-growing technology markets. The company’s ability to sustain growth across its diverse product lineup globally appears to have found a strong reflection in its Indian business performance during this record-setting quarter.
