"We feel motivated and inspired to not only keep meeting these needs in innovative ways, but to continue giving back to support the global response, from the tens of millions of face masks and custom-built face shields we've sent to medical professionals around the world, to the millions we've donated to organizations like Global Citizen and America's Food Fund," Cook noted.
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.
