As per reports, Apple India has been setting record-breaking quarterly sales since 2023. The July-September 2024 quarter marked the 10th consecutive three-month period where the company posted year-on-year revenue growth.
In FY23, its revenue increased by a massive 47.8% to ₹49,321 crore. The momentum is expected to continue, with projections indicating that iPhone sales alone could generate nearly $11 billion in FY25.

However, even after reporting outstanding numbers, Apple’s revenue in India still trails that of Samsung Electronics, which recorded ₹1.03 trillion in sales for FY24 up from ₹98,924 crore the previous year.
Samsung’s profit for FY24 more than doubled to ₹8,188 crore compared to ₹3,452 crore in FY23.
Highlighting Apple’s achievements, Associate Vice-President at IDC India Navkendar Singh said, “iPhone shipments have seen healthy growth for the past few years, reaching 9.7 million in 2023, and expected to clock more than 12 million in 2024. All this coming at almost three times the average selling price of the overall market is a huge achievement for Apple in India.”
The average selling price of iPhones in India exceeds $950 with most sales coming from models priced above $700.
Moreover, Apple shipped 9 million iPhones between January and September 2024, which marks a 35% increase compared to the same period last year. The company achieved record shipments of 4 million units in the July-September quarter alone registering a 58.5% year-on-year growth.
This performance gave Apple an 8.6% market share, ranking it sixth in the overall smartphone market, according to IDC.
Apple’s estimated revenue for the July-September period stood at $3.75-4 billion driven by strong demand for iPhones, iPads and Mac devices.
Expressed his excitement, Apple CEO Tim Cook said, “We continue to be excited by the enthusiasm we’re seeing in India, where we set an all-time revenue record. We also opened two new stores during the quarter, and we can’t wait to bring four new stores to customers in India.”
Apple’s performance in India has been mainly accelerated by aspirational buyers upgrading to newer iPhones.
Moreover, the average cost of owning an iPhone has also lowered due to discounts on key models, exchange offers, pre-owned devices and financing schemes.
