Apple iPhone Sales Surge Despite Tariff Concerns
Apple, the company that makes iPhones, had a really good few months, selling a lot of phones!
Some people thought this was because of worries about taxes from the US, but it looks like those worries didn't last long.
Apple says that these taxes will still cost them a lot of money.
Even though new, fancy features are coming out for phones, people still want to buy iPhones.
Apple is investing in new technology, but it's not going all-in on AI like other companies.
The company is also keeping some of its plans a secret.
Apple's iPhone sales surged 14% in the April-June quarter.
Some speculated increased sales were due to fear of US tariffs.
Data suggests the initial surge in sales soon subsided.
Tim Cook acknowledged tariff concerns influenced some sales in April.
Apple expects a $1.1 billion tariff-related hit in the current quarter.
