Apple said it will also continue to buy back its stock amid the pandemic.
Luca Maestri, Apple's CFO, said the active installed base of devices reached an all-time high in all of their geographic segments and major product categories.
"We also generated operating cash flow of $13.3 billion during the quarter, up $2.2 billion over a year ago. We are confident in our future and continue to make significant investments in all areas of our business to enrich our customers' lives and support our long-term plans -- including our five-year commitment to contribute $350 billion to the United States economy," informed Maestri.
The tech giant, however, did not issue guidance for the quarter ending in June. The company withdrew guidance for its second-quarter in February itself owing to COVID-19 pandemic that has wreaked havoc on global supply chain.
