Apple announces record numbers for the quarter

Apple has reached record levels for the second fiscal quarter: Apple's net profit increased by 35% to $ 13.6 billion, and the company's total revenue amounted to $ 58 billion, which surpassed analysts' expectations, who forecast growth to $ 56.1 billion.

In the first 3 months of 2015, the company sold 61.2 million iPhones, which is 40% more than a year earlier. As analysts say, such impressive figures are largely the result of strong demand for the iPhone 6 in the domestic market of China. Managing director Luca Maestri confirmed that sales in China grew by 72%. Mac sales also increased : last year 4.1 million computers were sold in Q2, this year 4.6 million.

However, Apple has become cause for concern. For example, exchange rate differences from sales worldwide reduced the company's revenues by 6%. In addition, the corporation for the fifth quarter in a row records a decrease in sales of the iPad: this time, Apple managed to sell only 12.6 million devices, which is 23% less than in the previous quarter.

Tim Cook stressed that an increasing number of people prefer to buy Apple products, expressing the hope that the company will achieve better results after June, when Apple Watch sales officially start.

Apple expects third-quarter revenue growth to $ 48 billion, compared with $ 37.4 billion a year earlier.
