蘋果財報超越預期，iPhone 17與MacBook Neo熱銷
Apple reported record Q2 FY2026 revenue of $111.2 billion, a 17% year-over-year increase, driven primarily by strong iPhone 17 series demand and the surprisingly popular MacBook Neo. All geographic regions posted double-digit growth, with Greater China leading at 28.1%. Apple's stock rose 2.68% after-hours to $278.46 following the earnings beat.
Summary
Apple announced its fiscal Q2 2026 earnings on April 30, covering the quarter ending March 28. The company posted $111.2 billion in revenue, representing 17% year-over-year growth and marking the best March quarter in Apple's history. The strong performance surpassed analyst expectations, pushing after-hours stock price up 2.68% to $278.46.
Revenue was split between products ($80.21 billion, +16.7%) and services ($31 billion, +16.3%). Geographically, the Americas led with $45.1 billion (+11.9%), followed by Europe at $28.1 billion (+14.7%), Greater China at $20.5 billion (+28.1%), Other Asia Pacific at $9.1 billion (+25.3%), and Japan at $8.4 billion (+15.1%).
By product category, iPhone was the dominant revenue driver at $57 billion (+21.7%), followed by Mac at $8.4 billion (+5.7%), Wearables & Home Accessories at $7.9 billion (+5%), and iPad at $6.9 billion (+8%).
A key driver of growth was the March launch of two entry-level products priced at $599 each: the iPhone 17e and the MacBook Neo laptop. Apple acknowledged it underestimated demand for MacBook Neo, which set a new record for Mac new users in a single quarter and is reportedly beginning to capture market share from low-end Windows laptops and Chromebooks. The iPhone 17 series was described as Apple's most popular product line in its history.
CEO Tim Cook highlighted Apple Intelligence as a core differentiator, emphasizing that Apple integrates AI directly into the user experience across all platforms rather than treating it as a standalone feature. Current capabilities include real-time translation via AirPods, visual analysis, and photo organization, with a more personalized Siri planned for later in the year.

蘋果週四（4/30）公布 截至3月28日的2026財年第二季財報，該季蘋果創下1,112億美元的營收，比去年同期成長17%，所有地區的業績都出現兩位數的成長，是蘋果歷來最佳的3月季度表現。蘋果表示，該成果主要受益於iPhone 17系列的市場需求，以及新款MacBook Neo的熱銷。由於表現超越分析師預期，當天蘋果盤後股價上漲2.68%，至278.46美元。 在1,112億美元的營收中 ，有802.1億美元來自產品，成長16.7%，310億美元來自服務，成長16.3%。 最大的市場為美洲，營收為451億美元，成長11.9%；居次的是歐洲的281億美元，成長14.7%；大中華區為205億美元，大幅成長28.1%；日本為84億美元，成長15.1%；其它亞太市場為91億美元，成長25.3%。 在個別的產品上，iPhone該季帶進570億美元的營收，成長21.7%；Mac為84億美元，成長5.7%；iPad為69億美元，成長8%；穿戴暨家用裝置為79億美元，成長5%。 蘋果在今年3月推出了兩款入門級產品，分別是售價599美元的 iPhone 17e ，以及同樣只賣599美元的全新入門級筆電 MacBook Neo 。蘋果表示，從該季的表現來看，iPhone 17系列已成為蘋果歷史上最受歡迎的產品線；且他們低估了市場對MacBook Neo的熱情，該季的新Mac用戶也創下了新紀錄，有部分需歸功於MacBook Neo。 此外，MacBook Neo正逐步侵蝕低階Windows筆電與Chromebook市場。 蘋果透過Apple Intelligence將AI整合至裝置體驗中。蘋果執行長庫克（Tim Cook）表示，真正讓蘋果脫穎而出的，是Apple Intelligence如何融入各平臺的核心，現在它可支援AirPods的即時翻譯，也可分析視覺及整理照片，並打算在今年推出更個人化的Siri，蘋果並不把AI當作一個獨立的功能，而是把它視為所有裝置上不可或缺、直覺的用戶體驗的一部分。
