Apple has reached a new milestone in India. During the September 2025 quarter, the company posted its highest-ever revenue in the country — a strong sign of Apple’s growing popularity in one of the world’s fastest-rising smartphone markets.
CEO Tim Cook confirmed the record during Apple’s earnings call, highlighting India as a key growth engine for the company in the coming decade.
What’s driving Apple’s record growth in India?
1️⃣ iPhone demand continues to surge
The iPhone 15 lineup has seen strong early momentum — especially the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro — with more Indian customers upgrading from older models.
2️⃣ Retail expansion is paying off
The opening of Apple BKC (Mumbai) and Apple Saket (Delhi) has helped boost brand engagement and premium sales. Apple is now looking at expanding its retail network further.
3️⃣ Made in India boost
More iPhones are being assembled locally, helping reduce costs and enable quicker deliveries.
4️⃣ Growing premium market
Apple is capitalizing on India’s rising premium smartphone segment, now growing faster than any other price category.
India emerging as a major revenue contributor
While Apple continues to see challenges in global markets, India stands out as a growth success story. Analysts expect Apple’s India revenue to double over the next few years, thanks to:
- Increasing digital adoption
- Rising disposable income
- Rapid 5G expansion
- Apple’s expanding services ecosystem (iCloud, Apple Music, App Store)
“We are thrilled with the progress we’re making in India,” Cook said, calling the country an incredibly exciting opportunity.
Beyond iPhone: Apple’s ecosystem is expanding
Indian users are increasingly investing in Apple Watch, AirPods, iPad, and Mac, contributing to strong overall revenue. Apple is also pushing deeper into:
- Education partnerships
- Developer ecosystem (apps & startups)
- Local manufacturing and supply chain growth
Why this matters for India
✔ More jobs and manufacturing opportunities
✔ Greater technology investment
✔ Strengthening India’s position in Apple’s global strategy
The momentum signals that Apple sees India not just as a market — but as a long-term strategic hub.
Apple’s record-breaking revenue in India marks a turning point. From stronger retail presence to “Made in India” manufacturing, Apple is cementing its premium dominance — and this is just the beginning.
