iPhone hits $85.3B in Q1 2026 on hardware, not AI

5 February 2026

Pulse

Carter Brooks

Apple posted record $85.3 billion in iPhone revenue for Q1 2026, CEO Tim Cook announced January 29.

Total company revenue hit $143.8 billion, up 16 percent year over year. Services reached $30.0 billion.

iPhone revenue jumped 23 percent, driven by hardware upgrades including always‑on display and higher refresh rates now standard on the base iPhone 17.

A delayed launch of AI‑upgraded Siri did not slow sales. Buyers responded to tangible improvements in screens and features now available across more models, signaling that practical hardware enhancements outweigh AI promises in driving purchase decisions.

    Lymph node vaccine triggers immune response in 67% of KRAS cancer patients

    A targeted vaccine delivered into lymph nodes activated immune responses in two-thirds of patients with KRAS-mutated pancreatic and colorectal cancers at UCLA Health's Jonsson Cancer Center. The AMPLIFY 201 phase 1 trial confirms the approach is safe and triggers measurable T-cell activity against tumor mutations, though clinical benefit remains unproven.
