Apple today introduced the financial results for the first quarter of its 2021 fiscal year, equivalent to the last three months of 2020. And like every time we cover the Christmas seasons, we have to talk about records. The company grossed $ 111.4 billion, with a net profit of $ 28.755 million.
This is the first time that Apple has surpassed the 100,000 million dollar mark, which investors had already predicted a few days ago. That’s 21% growth from last year’s Christmas season, and Tim Cook called the 2020 holiday “historic.”

Apple no longer reveals how many units of iPhones have been sold, but there is overwhelming data: nearly 6 out of 10 dollars seized were achieved thanks to these iPhones
