Apple Inc. delivered far stronger-than-expected fiscal third-quarter results, reporting $94.04 billion in revenue, surpassing analyst predictions. Notably, iPhone sales grew by 13.5% to $44.58 billion, alleviating some tariff-related concerns.

Amidst ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions and AI development setbacks, Apple's strategic shift in production to India and Vietnam has helped maintain its market positioning. However, potential tariffs still pose a looming threat.

CEO Tim Cook revealed, in part, an early purchase boost ahead of tariffs. Apple's evolving AI strategy is set to further bolster its market presence, as services and Mac sales surpassed expectations, offsetting challenges in other product categories.
