Apple reported quarterly revenue of $94.9 billion, slightly surpassing analysts' expectations. The boost in sales came from strong iPhone sales, although there was weakness in revenue from greater China. The company also faced a back-tax charge of $10.2 billion related to a ruling by the EU Court of Justice. Apple's services segment, including Apple Music, iCloud, and the App Store, achieved a new all-time high with revenue of $25 billion. The company's shares were down two percent in after-hours trading following the announcement.

Despite cautious AI rollouts, strong services and ecosystem growth counterbalance iPhone challenges, particularly in China. Sales across services and hardware largely surpassed Wall Street estimates.
