“Είμαστε απίστευτα ενθουσιασμένοι που σήμερα ανακοινώνουμε το μεγαλύτερο από άποψη κερδών και πωλήσεων οικονομικό τρίμηνο στην ιστορία της Apple κάτι το οποίο οφείλετε σε μεγάλο βαθμό και στην έλευση των νέων iPhone συσκευών μας. Το iPhone X ξεπέρασε όλες τις προσδοκίες μας και είναι η συσκευή αυτή με τις περισσότερες πωλήσεις από την στιγμή που κυκλοφόρησε τον Νοέμβριο. Ένα ακόμη ρεκόρ είναι και οι ενεργές συσκευές μας που έφτασαν τον φανταστικό αριθμό των 1.3 δις σε όλο τον κόσμο. Αυτό σημαίνει μια άνοδο 30% μέσα σε μόλις 2 χρόνια κάτι που δείχνει με τον καλύτερο τρόπο το πόσο δημοφιλή είναι τα προϊόντα και οι υπηρεσίες μας καθώς και το πόσο πιστούς καταναλωτές έχουμε”
