The company expects revenues for the first quarter of its 2018 fiscal year to reach between $84 billion and $87 billion, an estimate that, if fulfilled, would exceed the $78.3 billion registered in the same quarter of 2017.

“We’re happy to report a very strong finish to a great fiscal 2017,” Apple CEO Tim Cook was quoted as saying.
