Tim Cook 'over the moon' as Apple eyes massive growth in India market

Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook has said he is "over the moon excited" about India, characterising the country's market as a "huge opportunity" for the tech giant. "Yes. I think it's a huge opportunity for us. We've been focused on this for a while. It's the second largest smartphone market in the world and the third largest PC market," Cook said at Apple's second quarter 2026 earnings call on Thursday. Cook's remarks came to a question about his outlook on the Indian market and the overall opportunity it offers. He also acknowledged that the tech giant still has a "modest share" in India despite doing "extremely well" in the country for quite some time. Tim also discussed India's rising middle class, the potential it has and said since most customers across all our product lines are new to the brand, it's a perfect environment for us to grow. " Net-net, I'm over the moon excited about India," he added. Apple saw its quarterly revenue climb 17 per cent to USD 111.2 billion

Apple's John Ternus steps into spotlight after flying under radar for years

Apple's next CEO John Ternus is a company veteran who rose through the iPhone maker's hardware engineering ranks but until now has maintained a low profile. Ternus will take over as chief executive in September for Tim Cook, who turned Apple into a USD 4 trillion tech colossus during his 15-year run after the death of co-founder Steve Jobs.
