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.

Apple is close to lifting the ban on iPhone 16 sales in Indonesia after President Prabowo Subianto approved a $1 billion investment from the tech giant. Indonesia initially banned the sale of the flagship device due to noncompliance with domestic content requirements. Apple presented an expanded investment plan, including setting up a plant in Batam to produce AirTags and another plant in Bandung for accessories. The investment aims to gain access to Indonesia's large consumer base and support the government's efforts to boost local manufacturing.
