Apple CEO Tim Cook announced the company has shipped its three billionth iPhone. This milestone was revealed during the company's third-quarter earnings call. The first iPhone was released in 2007, with the one billionth sold in 2016. The two billionth mark is estimated to have been reached in 2021. Apple reported double-digit growth for the iPhone in the third quarter, contributing to a total revenue of $94 billion, a 10% year-over-year increase. Apple analyst Mark Gurman suggested recent iPhone sales might be linked to consumer concerns about potential future tariffs.
