Apple knackt Rekord: Q2-Umsatz schießt auf 94,04 Milliarden USD – stärkster Quartalssprung seit 2021

Tech-Gigant Apple meldet historische Zahlen – und lässt Analysten staunen.

Der Konzern verzeichnete im zweiten Quartal 2025 einen Umsatz von stolzen 94,04 Milliarden US-Dollar. Das bedeutet den größten quartalsweisen Anstieg seit vier Jahren.

Tim Cooks Maschine läuft auf Hochtouren: Während traditionelle Finanzinstitute noch mit veralteten Geschäftsmodellen kämpfen, demonstriert Apple einmal mehr, wie man mit Innovation und kühler Berechnung Märkte dominiert.

Fragt sich nur: Wann steigen die Aktionäre endlich auf Bitcoin um, statt sich mit solchen 'Altcoins' wie Unternehmensaktien abzugeben?

iPhone drives revenue while Mac leads in growth

The iPhone once again led the charge, pulling in $44.58 billion in revenue, which is 13% more than the same quarter last year and beat the $40.22 billion estimate by a wide margin. Tim said sales were stronger this time around because the iPhone 16 was outperforming the iPhone 15, which had been on sale during the same period last year. He added that the iPhone 16 saw “strong double-digit” sales growth over its predecessor, especially from current users upgrading.

While the iPhone brought in the most revenue, the Mac lineup grew faster than any other unit. Apple’s Mac business grew nearly 15% year-over-year, reaching $8.05 billion, topping the $7.26 billion forecast. That spike came after Apple launched new MacBook Air laptops—its top-selling Mac—right before the quarter began.

Apple’s services division, which includes iCloud, the App Store, AppleCare, and licensing deals like the one with Google, also grew. Services brought in $27.42 billion, a 13% increase over the previous year, beating the $26.80 billion expectation. Tim said iCloud subscriptions saw “meaningful” growth, and App Store revenue climbed in double digits.

iPad and wearables report weak numbers

It wasn’t all up. The iPad business fell 8%, pulling in $6.58 billion, missing the $7.24 billion estimate. Apple had released a budget iPad in March, but it didn’t boost the numbers enough. 

Also down was the “Other Products” unit, which includes Apple Watch, AirPods, and other accessories. That segment dropped 8.64% to $7.4 billion, under the $7.82 billion forecast.

Still, Tim emphasized that even with those two weak spots, the overall numbers came in strong because of demand across the iPhone, Mac, and Services units.

The company’s gross margin came in at 46.5%, beating the 45.9% estimate. Tim also repeated that part of the boost came from customers trying to get ahead of tariff-related price increases. 

Apple had previously estimated $900 million in extra costs tied to the TRUMP administration’s tariffs in the quarter. Tim didn’t give a new number but made it clear that the tariffs had already started affecting buyer behavior.

China sees a rebound as Apple increases its AI push

Apple also reported that revenue in Greater China, which includes Hong Kong and Taiwan, grew 4% to $15.37 billion. That growth came after two straight quarters of decline—down 2% in Q2 and down 11% in Q1. Tim said local government subsidies helped boost sales in the region. “The subsidy does apply to some of our products, and it clearly helps,” he said on the earnings call.

On the tech front, Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in June showcased new software for its hardware lines, but the company’s AI announcements left investors unimpressed. Still, Tim said Apple was putting heavy resources into artificial intelligence. “We are significantly growing our investments,” he said, calling AI “one of the most profound technologies of our lifetime.”

Tim also said Apple had acquired around seven companies in 2025 to support its AI strategy, though none were major deals. “We’re open to M&A that accelerates our roadmap,” he said.
