Apple crushed all expectations for its first-quarter earnings on Tuesday; shares were up nearly 3% after hours in response.
Apple saw $78.4 billion for revenue on expectations of $77.4 billion, and reported earnings of $3.36 per share on expectations of $3.21.
Most importantly, iPhone sales exceeded the high hopes Wall Street had for the quarter, with 78.3 million units sold, on predictions of 76.3 million.
It was Apple’s highest quarterly revenue ever, and iPhone’s biggest quarter ever.

- Apple's transitioned to a 100% consumer-centric company, not a creative or developer-focused one. = $$$, but long-term I see problems.detritus

- Problem is, in computer/dev terms at least - what's there to replace them? LockDown Windows 10? I wonder if this is the nudge Linux has needed..?detritus
- Hey I share the sentiment completely. But people have been saying that for years and they are only winning more.monospaced
- mono - I've read half the N7 owners switched. That's several millions. So yeah, it had a big impact, how much no one really knows.formed
- "faboys", to me, is anyone that keeps buying a company w/o trying other onesformed
- Half N7 owners switched to iOS instead of taking a brand new, better phone as a replacement? I had no idea that happened, and that it was several million. linkmonospaced
