Apple announced its Q3 2023 financial results, with the company generating a revenue of $81.8 billion, which is a decline of 1 percent compared to the same period a year ago, where revenue of $82.9 billion was made.

Mac and iPad revenue also witnessed a decline, with Services and ‘Other Products’ the only two categories to see an increase compared to Q2 2022, making $21.21 billion in revenue, compared to $19.6 billion last year. Apple CEO Tim Cook made the announcement that the firm had an all-time revenue record in Services during the June quarter thanks to one billion paid subscriptions.

“We are happy to report that we had an all-time revenue record in Services during the June quarter, driven by over 1 billion paid subscriptions, and we saw continued strength in emerging markets thanks to robust sales of iPhone.
