• Mac revenue at all time high, which infers all-time high sales.
• iPad revenue up 17 percent, again inferring sales growth.
• Services (and general revenue) up 19 percent yoy -- inferring increased ecosystem stickiness.
Seen a couple of these in this thread. These data are not inferring anything; they're implying. Would be accurate to turn the sentence around, i.e., reversing what is acting and being acted upon, and say, "From the report of record Mac revenue, we can infer record sales."
