Apple posts record June-quarter revenue in India as Mac growth accelerates
Apple recorded its best June quarter in India, with strong double-digit Mac growth and robust iPhone 17 demand. Counterpoint expects single-digit unit growth but double-digit value growth in India in 2026, reinforcing India as a key premium consumer market.

Likely next moves
The desk's read of what comes next — analysis, not reported by the source.
- Expand Apple Store, reseller and service-center coverage beyond the largest metros, with emphasis on affluent tier-two cities.
- Increase trade-in, installment and bank-partnership offers to convert premium aspiration into purchases without broad list-price cuts.
- Use Mac growth to deepen education, creator, developer and small-business sales programs, raising ecosystem attachment.
- Prioritize localized services, retail support and enterprise relationships to increase recurring revenue from the growing installed base.
- Continue India manufacturing and supplier localization to reduce supply risk, improve launch availability and potentially protect pricing flexibility.
The counter-case
A record June quarter may reflect a low prior-year base, launch timing, financing offers, or channel inventory build rather than durable demand. Mac’s double-digit growth could be meaningful from a small base, while Apple’s broader India opportunity remains constrained by premium pricing, limited affordability outside top cities, and intense Android competition. If smartphone unit growth slows to single digits, sustaining double-digit value growth will require continued premiumisation that could weaken if consumer spending softens or competitors narrow the premium-device gap.
