iPhone 18 — 3 key things from the Apple earnings call that make me excited about the new iPhone

IPhone 18 Pro concept design from Aptenod on YouTube.

Apple’s Q1 2026 earnings call was, without question, a nod to its latest iPhone 17 series, even though no direct sales figures were given for individual models. Nevertheless, Tim Cook sounded extremely enthusiastic during the call, going on to say that Apple "just had a quarter for the record books."

The numbers clearly show what drove Apple’s bottom line. After looking through the earnings report and hearing about Apple’s major victories, I’m even more excited for the iPhone 18. Apple has a bit of breathing room for now to soak in its successes, but the future ahead is only going to get more challenging.
