Apple Inc. reported its strongest third-quarter earnings ever, driven by robust iPhone sales growing 25% annually, especially in Greater China and India. Despite this, shares fell 6% after earnings due to concerns over supply constraints and margin pressures linked to AI-driven costs in advanced silicon and memory. The company forecasted slower growth of 9–11% for Q4, citing foreign exchange headwinds and challenges in monetizing AI technology. Additionally, an upcoming CEO transition and ongoing margin pressures suggest a challenging outlook for fiscal year 2027.
