Apple’s ‘Spring Forward’ event in San Francisco has begun this morning, and as usual, Tim Cook has taken the stage first to talk about the company’s performance over the last several months. As you may recall, Apple had a monster holiday quarter after launching new iPhones and Apple Pay in the fall, so the CEO has plenty to talk about.
Here are some of the highlights from Cook’s opening:
- 453 Apple stores in 16 countries
- 6 stores opened in China within last 6 weeks
- 21 stores in China, with a plan to have 40 next year
- 120 million customers visited Apple Stores last quarter

- Nearly 700,000 retailers accepting Apple Pay across the US
