iPhone sales were flat but Apple's profit jumped 32%

The jump comes despite flattening iPhone unit sales. Apple sold 41.3 million iPhones during the three months ending in June, little changed from the 41 million it sold in the same period a year ago. Instead, Apple is finding new growth from higher priced iPhone models, like the $999 iPhone X, as well as supplementary services offered for its portfolio of devices. On a conference call with analysts after the report, Apple CEO Tim Cook said the pricey iPhone X has been the "top selling iPhone" model since it launched last year. Apple forecast its sales for the upcoming quarter would be between $60 billion and $62 billion, above Wall Street's expectations.
