Apple Reports Strong June-Quarter Growth Amid Supply Chain Challenges and US Chip Sourcing Concerns
Apple reported its strongest June-quarter sales growth in five years, driven by steady iPhone prices and rising Mac demand, including record revenue in India. However, the company warned of supply chain constraints, especially in advanced memory chips, which may slow growth in the September quarter. US senators urged Apple to avoid sourcing chips from blacklisted Chinese firms amid security concerns. Despite strong third-quarter results, Apple anticipates slower revenue growth due to ongoing component shortages and is exploring alternative suppliers.
