Apple’s profits have risen to $21.7 billion as its iPhone sales and digital services continue to rise

Apple says its profit in the last quarter nearly doubled amid improved consumer spending and a “growing sense of optimism” as lockdown restrictions are eased.

The company’s Chief Executive, Tim Cook says there is “renewed hope for a better future” for customers in the US and globally.

He explains the roll-out of 5G has already made a “significant impact on how people get the most out of our technology”.

Apple shares were little changed in after-market trading following the results, but were already stronger than most forecasts.

It follows Apple and other tech giants facing heightened pressure from anti-trust enforcers around the world.
