Apple Earnings Preview: iPhone 17 Momentum and Services Growth in Focus

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates – Monday, 27 October 2025

Apple is set to report its quarterly earnings this week, with investors closely monitoring whether the company’s iPhone 17 momentum is translating into stronger sales growth. Early indicators suggest robust demand for the new models, with upgrade activity running ahead of last year’s iPhone 16 cycle. This could support modest top-line upside, even as currency headwinds and softer China demand remain potential overhangs.
The company’s high-margin Services division—which includes the App Store, subscriptions, and iCloud—remains a key earnings driver. Analysts expect another quarter of steady double-digit growth, underscoring the business’s resilience even in a more challenging macro environment.
On the innovation front, Apple’s rollout of its Apple Intelligence features is expected to be a central focus, as the company works to reassert its AI narrative and strengthen its ecosystem advantage heading into 2026.

Overall, while near-term macro headwinds persist, Apple’s brand strength, ecosystem depth, and ability to drive premium demand continue to support its long-term investment appeal.
