Apple registered a new record in India in its fiscal Q4 quarter and the company generated an all-time revenue record for the Mac desktops in the country, it has announced.
The July-September period saw Apple log record revenue in the country and is set to break the numbers in its fiscal 2020 Q1 (October-December period) as iPhone 11 series has witnessed stupendous response from the Indian buyers.
“Despite the tough compare, we generated an all-time revenue record for Mac in the US and in India and a fourth-quarter revenue record in Japan,” Luca Maestri, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, told media. “More than half of the customers purchasing Macs during the quarter were new to Mac, and the active installed base of Macs again reached a new all-time high,” he added.
India is back on Apple’s growth trajectory after some dull quarters in the past. In a big impetus for its India manufacturing dream, Apple has started production of its highly successful iPhone XR at its supplier Foxconn’s facility in Sriperumbudur, Chennai.
