Apple logs double-digit growth in iPhone sales in India in Dec quarter

Tech giant Apple registered a double-digit rise in iPhone sales in India, and witnessed strong demand for iPads in the December quarter.

The Cupertino-based company posted its highest-ever quarterly revenue at $91.8 billion, an increase of 9 per cent from the year-ago quarter. Its net profit also hit an all-time high of $22 billion.

International sales accounted for 61 per cent of the quarter’s revenue.

“We had double-digit growth in many developed markets, including the US, the UK, France and Singapore, and also grew double digits in emerging markets led by strong performances in Brazil, Mainland China, India, Thailand, and Turkey,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said in an investor call.
