Why it matters
The financial results, which topped Wall Street estimates, were driven by a 17% growth in iPhone revenue to $57.6 billion during the September quarter. John Ternus stated that the company is working to increase supply of the Duo, which sells for £1,999 in the UK, despite the high demand.
