"We are incredibly excited about the strength we're seeing across our products and services," said Cook. "We expect the December quarter revenue to be the best ever for the company and the best ever for iPhone." Overall revenue is expected to grow 10 to 12 percent year over year, while ‌iPhone‌ revenue is expected to grow double digits.

iOS 26 has made the experience way worse.
I was way happier when I got my iPhone 15 Pro Max on iOS 17 than this YUGE Mess with iPhone 17 running on iOS 26 😔 even the iPhone 13 Pro Max on iOS 15 was a way better experience in every way.
