Updated: Dec 24 2025- Record Service Revenue: Apple generated $109.2 billion from its Services division this year, pushing its total market value past $4 trillion, making it only the second company to achieve this milestone after Nvidia, highlighting its strong growth potential in services.
- Executive Departures Impact: The retirement of CFO Jeff Williams is seen as pivotal for Apple's future leadership restructuring, especially since he was viewed as a top candidate to succeed Tim Cook, which could influence the company's strategic direction and decision-making.
- Successor Development: Cook is grooming Senior VP of Hardware Engineering John Ternus as his successor, with reports suggesting Cook may step down as early as 2026, a move that will significantly impact Apple's long-term strategy and market positioning.
- Future Product Plans: Apple is set to release its first foldable iPhone in the second half of 2026 and is working on a cheaper MacBook model, which, while potentially lower in profit margins, could attract more customers and drive service revenue growth.
