Demand for Apple\u2019s iPhone<\/a> and MacBook<\/a> product lines surged during the third quarter of 2026, signaling record-breaking revenues for June. This was the toplining statement from Apple\u2019s outgoing CEO, Tim Cook<\/a>, during his final earnings call<\/a> for the company on Thursday.<\/p>\n

This news, which found iPhone<\/a> sales increasing<\/a> by 22% to $54 billion, Mac sales of $10 billion (thanks, in large part, to the popularity of its entry level MacBook Neo<\/a>), the iPad<\/a> at $6 billion, wearables<\/a>, home and accessories at almost $8 billion, and services at $31 billion, was relayed with a celebratory tone as Apple raked in roughly $109 billion in net sales for almost $30 billion in net income during the quarter.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an incredibly strong iPhone and Mac product cycle that has really yielded demand beyond our expectations,\u201d Cook said.<\/p>\n

Yet concerns about future price hikes dampened the discussion, given the ongoing global memory shortage<\/a> and potential supply constraints ahead.<\/p>\n

Apple raised prices<\/a> on many of its products in June due to the ongoing RAM shortage caused by the high memory needs of AI tools and products. As supply chain constraints on memory chips persist, a large portion of the questions asked of Cook centered on price uncertainty<\/a>, product availability and a potential drop in product sales going forward, depending on economic conditions and customers\u2019 comfort with how much they\u2019ll spend.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the pricing front, we reluctantly raised prices,\u201d Cook explained. \u201cI would say we did it because we\u2019re in what I would characterize as a 100-year flood on the memory pricing, with exponential increases in memory prices, and so that was the rationale for it in terms of our philosophy on dollars or percentages.\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the move going forward? Cook said Apple is looking at the bigger picture and thinking about the situation over the long term, rather than treating the next quarter as \u201ca 90-day clock.\u201d<\/p>\n

That said, he expects memory pricing to continue its upward trend over the next few months, which means a price hike could be on the horizon. He was cagey in giving any solid details on the matter, which he called \u201cunclear.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re evaluating all options,\u201d Cook added.<\/p>\n

Cook is ending his 15-year run as Apple\u2019s CEO, and before he took questions from members of the press, he took time to express his gratitude, optimism for the company\u2019s future and praise for incoming CEO John Ternus<\/a>, who will take over on Sept. 1.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is truly one of a kind, and there is no better person to take the helm of the company,\u201d Cook said. \u201cI couldn\u2019t be more confident in his leadership, in our executive team and in the extraordinary people at Apple who are determined to enrich the lives of our users all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
