Total revenue: $ 74.6 billion - $ 3.06 per share. 8.3 million dollars refined per hour.

Net income for the quarter is set at $ 18 billion, which is a record among all companies during the existence of public financial statements. The previous record holder is Russian Gazprom, which in the first quarter of 2011 showed $ 16.24 billion in profits.

As for the number of shipped devices, the Cupertino company managed to sell 74.4 million iPhones of various generations in just 3 months. This record belongs exclusively to Apple and sets a very high bar for Tim Cook in the future, because a year ago, sales were at 51 million.

But the iPad sold worse this year: 21.41 million devices found their new owners, which is 18% worse than the same quarter last year, when Apple bought 26 million tablets.

As for the current quarter, it is expected that after the holidays, the company's revenue will fall to between $ 52 and $ 55 billion.

* In the US, the fiscal year is from October 1 to September 30.
