We'd have to see the product breakdown, but it's possible this could be explained by more people working from home and home schooling; people are likely spending more time on devices like tablets and laptops. If iPhone sales are up, that would indeed be remarkable.

Remarkable either way because Apple stores were closed for most of the quarter.

You're right. The work-from-home angle could be part of it.

My company recently announced everyone is staying home for at least the next 10 months, and is trying to get hundreds of iPhones for everyone who didn't have a company-issued phone before.

The company my wife works for is half at work, and half at home right now, but everyone is getting new phones, just in case.
