The iPhone 12's various models ship in October and November instead of September this year. > CEO Tim Cook proudly announced double-digit YOY growth in all product categories besides iPhone on the call, but the iPhone is important: Apple's total revenue was up only 1 percent year-over-year, with iPhone revenue down almost 21 percent.
