Apple posts record June quarter but cuts outlook due to margin pressure and supply costs

Apple Inc. reported its best June quarter ever with growth worldwide, but rising memory costs and supply constraints are causing its gross margin to shrink sharply. The company expects margins to fall nearly 3 percentage points in the next six months and revenue growth for the September quarter to come in below expectations. Despite a rebound in China revenue, near-term challenges from higher component prices and supply issues have led analysts to downgrade Apple from Strong Buy to Hold. This cautious outlook highlights potential pressure on Apple's profitability in the coming quarters.
