Apple Says iPhone 17 Is Its Most Popular Lineup Ever

Overview

• Following Thursday’s earnings report, Apple said the iPhone 17 family is the most popular in its history, a claim CFO Kevan Parekh made in an interview with the Financial Times.
• Apple posted a record March quarter with $111.2 billion in revenue and $29.6 billion in profit, with executives pointing to iPhone strength as a key driver.
• CEO Tim Cook told Reuters demand was “off the charts,” yet sales ran into tight supplies of A19 and A19 Pro chips made by TSMC, with added pressure from scarce DRAM and NAND memory.
• Apple reported 99% customer satisfaction for the iPhone 17 lineup in the U.S., citing 451 Research, and Cook said buyers praise the design, speed, durability, camera features like Center Stage, and Apple Intelligence integration.
• Reporters note that ongoing chip and memory constraints could affect upcoming models, which may mean longer waits or fewer configurations for shoppers if shortages persist.
