The fastest year was fiscal 2011, when revenue grew 66.0%. Revenue fell in three years: fiscal 2016 (-7.7%), fiscal 2019 (-2.0%) and fiscal 2023 (-2.8%); the 10-K for each of those years explains what drove it. Revenue first passed $25 billion in fiscal 2008, $50 billion in fiscal 2010, $100 billion in fiscal 2011 and $250 billion in fiscal 2018. | Fiscal year | Revenue | Change | | --- | --- | --- | | FY2025 ended September 27, 2025 | $416 billion | 6.4% | | FY2024 ended September 28, 2024 | $391 billion | 2.0% | | FY2023 ended September 30, 2023 | $383 billion | -2.8% | | FY2022 ended September 24, 2022 | $394 billion | 7.8% | | FY2021 ended September 25, 2021 | $366 billion | 33.3% | | FY2020 ended September 26, 2020 | $275 billion | 5.5% | | FY2019 ended September 28, 2019 | $260 billion | -2.0% | | FY2018 ended September 29, 2018 | $266 billion | 15.9% | | FY2017 ended September 30, 2017 | $229 billion | 6.3% | | FY2016 ended September 24, 2016 | $216 billion | -7.7% | | FY2015 ended September 26, 2015 | $234 billion | 27.9% | | FY2014 ended September 27, 2014 | $183 billion | 7.0% | | FY2013 ended September 28, 2013 | $171 billion | 9.2% | | FY2012 ended September 29, 2012 | $157 billion | 44.6% | | FY2011 ended September 24, 2011 | $108 billion | 66.0% | | FY2010 ended September 25, 2010 | $65.2 billion | 52.0% | | FY2009 ended September 26, 2009 | $42.9 billion | 14.4% | | FY2008 ended September 27, 2008 | $37.5 billion | 52.5% | | FY2007 ended September 29, 2007 | $24.6 billion | n/a | ## How Do These Events Affect Apple Inc.'s Financial History? None of Apple Inc.'s Form 8-K filings listed by EDGAR reports a completed acquisition or disposition under Item 2.01, so the revenue record reflects its existing businesses more directly than a serial acquirer's would. Deals too small to require an 8-K can still contribute. A stock split changes every per-share figure before it: earnings per share, dividends per share and share counts in older filings are on a different basis until restated, so compare per-share history only in split-adjusted terms. Earlier filings were made under a former name, which matters when searching EDGAR or older research; the company's CIK number (320193) stays the same across names. Each year shows the revenue from the latest 10-K that reported it, so a year a company later restated can differ from the figure it first published, and most companies moved to a new revenue tag after the 2018 change in revenue accounting. ## Where This Timeline Comes From Revenue, stock splits and former names come from Apple Inc.'s filings with the SEC, read from EDGAR's XBRL company facts and submissions data on October 5, 2026. Acquisitions and disposals are those reported as completed under Item 2.01 of a Form 8-K in the filings EDGAR lists for the company, each checked against the filing itself. Milestones marked "Company history" summarize widely reported events and are dated by year only.
