“Our Services business grew 19 percent year-over-year and App Store revenue was the highest ever, as our installed base continued to grow and transacting customers hit an all-time record,” said Luca Maestri, Apple’s CFO. “We returned over $13 billion to investors through share repurchases and dividends, and we have now completed almost $177 billion of our $250 billion capital return program.”

Apple is providing the following guidance for its fiscal 2016 fourth quarter:• revenue between $45.5 billion and $47.5 billion• gross margin between 37.5 percent and 38 percent• operating expenses between $6.05 billion and $6.15 billion• other income/(expense) of $350 million• tax rate of 25.5 percent
