Investing.com -- Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) reported Thursday fiscal third-quarter results that topped estimates as strength in its services business helped offset iPhone sales that fell short of estimates.
Apple shares were down 1% in afterhours trading following the report.
Apple reported reported EPS $1.26 on revenue of $81.80B, beating estimates for $1.19 and $81.73B, respectively.
iPhone revenue, which makes up nearly half of total revenue, rose to $39.67B from $40.67B a year earlier, missing estimates of $39.91B.
Revenue from Apple’s service business including Apple News, Apple TV+ and iCloud, grew to $21.21B from $19.60B, and topped estimates of $20.76B.
"We had an all-time revenue record in Services during the June quarter, driven by over 1 billion paid subscriptions, and we saw continued strength in emerging markets thanks to robust sales of iPhone," Apple CEO Tim Cook said.
