Apple in the announcement of the fiscal year 2023, the third quarter (the second quarter of this year) the latest results, said the global scale of paid subscription users exceeded 1 billion, to promote the company’s Apple business to a new level.
“We reported strong numbers in Q2 of this year, with record revenue in our Services business fuelled by more than 1 billion paid subscribers; iPhone expansion was further fuelled by continued strong iPhone sales in emerging markets,” Cook said in a press release. Estimated revenue from the services business is $21.2 billion (currently about RMB 152.428 billion), up 8% compared to $19.6 billion (currently about RMB 140.924 billion) in the same period last year.
Apple CFO Luca Maestri went on to say that the installed base of active Apple devices is also “at an all-time high in every geographic region.”
Maestri didn’t disclose specific numbers, but Apple said in February that the number of active devices had surpassed 2 billion.
