COVID-19 hasn't stopped tech sector growth, and Apple's third quarter 2020 performance is the best June of all time.
Apple today reported record Q3 performance across range of services and products. The company made $11.25 billion on $59.7 billion in total revenues, with a sharp 18% EPS jump to $2.61. Products made 77% of total net revenues, or $46 billion, up nearly double-digit percentage points over last year. Services pulled in $11.25 billion and saw a 15% jump over Q3'19.
While iPhone sales drove the quarter's total net sales ($59.68 billion), iPad saw the biggest uptick with 31% growth to $6.58 billion in sales. Wearables were also up 16.7%.
Interesting note: Apple paid more in taxes last year than it did this year, despite making more money. It spent $11.7 billion in Q3'19, and only $8.4 billion in Q4'20.
