Apple has recently disclosed its quarterly earnings for Q4 2025, showcasing a record revenue of $102.47 billion, representing an 8% increase from the same timeframe last year. The company has also indicated an even greater milestone anticipated in the forthcoming holiday quarter.
### Apple Forecasting 10-12% Growth During Holidays for Record Quarter
The iPhone 17 series has demonstrated strong demand, contributing to positive projections for the next quarter ending in December. Apple CEO Tim Cook remarked, “We anticipate total company revenue to increase by 10 to 12% year over year, we project iPhone revenue to rise by double digits, year over year, and we foresee that making the December quarter the best in the company’s history.” This growth outlook is considerably more optimistic than analysts’ predictions, which had earlier estimated revenue of $132.31 billion for the holiday quarter.
Should Apple attain an 11% growth, it could result in around $136.73 billion in revenue, exceeding previous forecasts. Last year, the holiday quarter set a benchmark for Apple with $124.30 billion in total revenue, and with the iPhone 17 series outperforming its predecessor, the iPhone 16, anticipations for ongoing success remain elevated.
The strong reception of the new iPhone models, launched in September, has strengthened Apple’s confidence in its guidance for the upcoming quarter. The projections suggest that Apple is prepared to not only meet but possibly surpass its previous financial records.
### Conclusion
Apple’s recent earnings report and positive forecasts for the holiday quarter underscore the company’s strong performance and the appeal of its products. As the iPhone 17 continues to attract attention, analysts and investors will be keenly observing to determine if Apple can reach its ambitious growth goals.
