Tim Cook concluded his final Apple earnings call, marking the end of his 15-year tenure as CEO. Apple reported record revenue of $109.4 billion for the June quarter, with significant growth across several product lines including the iPhone ($54.25 billion), Mac ($10.35 billion), and Services ($30.74 billion). However, the iPad segment saw a decline, dropping 6% to $6.19 billion. Despite strong financial results, Apple’s stock fell sharply after hours due to concerns over future performance. Cook attributed upcoming challenges to supply chain constraints and rising costs, particularly for memory components, which he described as a '100-year flood' in terms of pricing. Apple also announced plans to increase prices for Macs and iPads, with potential similar increases for the iPhone later in the year. Additionally, Apple is seeking approval to source memory chips from Chinese manufacturers.
