STORY: Apple forecast a surge in revenue for the start of the year, thanks to strong demand for its iPhones and its China business bouncing back.On Thursday, it estimated an up to 16% leap for January to March, well ahead of Wall Street's expectations.That came after a strong holiday quarter that also beat estimates.CEO Tim Cook told Reuters that hunger for the latest iPhone 17 lineup was "staggering."The devices have been well-received for their upgraded camera features and better performance.Apple also says it benefited from a wave of users replacing older phones.The company says the holiday quarter to December 27th saw the iPhone set sales records in every region it operates in, pulling in $85 billion dollars, some $7 billion more than analysts had predicted......despite wider uncertainty in the economy.Sales in Greater China in particular jumped 38% year-on-year.Apple has faced pressure there from local rivals and regulatory scrutiny, but Cook said that the iPhone hit a sales record there.He said the iPhone 17 drove double-digit growth in the number of Chinese users switching from Android devices.However, Apple's results in the first quarter suggest the surging cost of DRAM memory and commodities like gold aren't showing up in the results yet.In a call with analysts, Cook said the global memory chip shortage would be "a bit more of an impact" on fiscal second-quarter margins.
