Apple's Impressive Fiscal 2017 in 4 Charts

Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) 53-week fiscal 2017, which ended on Sept. 30, was packed with news, including a significant increase to its capital return program, double-digit earnings growth, and lots of new products. During the fiscal year, Apple launched its redesigned MacBook Pro, Siri-enabled wireless AirPods, updated iMacs, new iPad Pros, the new Apple TV 4K, the Apple Watch Series 3 with built-in cellular connectivity, and the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.

Of course, products launched just before the fiscal year started helped shape the year as well. The September 2016-launched iPhone 7 and 7 Plus reinvigorated iPhone sales, and the launch of the Apple Watch Series 2 during the same month helped drive strong growth in wearables.
