Earnings calls

  1. Q3 FY2026 Jul 30, 2026 Cook used his last earnings call to argue that Apple's problem is a good one: iPhone grew 22% and Mac 29%, and the shortfall he had to explain was supply, not demand. He named the cause as a demand forecast miss on advanced-node silicon rather than any failure at a partner or supplier, said the company has been pulling supply forward and is near the limit of that, and described memory pricing as a 100-year flood that forced Apple to raise prices reluctantly. Around that he set the succession — this is his final call, John Ternus leads the next one — Siri AI shipping this autumn, and a Broadcom agreement expected to exceed $30 billion as the largest American manufacturing commitment Apple has made.
