All times are ET.

Listen to our AI-generated podcast summarizing today’s newsletter (beware of hallucinations):

1. Apple Q2 revenue +5% YoY to $95.4B, beating estimates amid tariff pressure

  • ~+5% in net income to $24.8B.

  • +12% in services revenue to $26.6B.

  • U.S. tariffs are expected to add $900M to Apple’s costs for Q3, CEO Tim Cook said.

  • Tariffs are likely to increase manufacturing in India, Vietnam, and other regions with labor prices similar to China, not the U.S. itself.

iPhone share of Apple’s revenue fell to 49% in Q2 from 51% a year ago

Apple stock is ~-3% in pre-market trading, as Cook said “very difficult” to predict tariff costs beyond Jun.
