Phsst … revenue is up 12% YoY, and EPS is up 20% YoY. I'll take that any day. Far more important than any one product stat, even the iPhone, despite people who try to paint Apple as a one trick pony.
If you don't know that by now you're never going to know.
Well, I'm just saying that while Apple is hitting on all cylinders right now, everyone else seems to be flailing a bit. After this report, it seems less likely that bad news out of Samsung re Android sales will be taken as a bad omen for iPhone sales (as was the common wisdom before).

Common it was, wisdom it was not. I will agree with the all cylinders assessment.
Very nice. Now maybe T Cook will actually give out a gift card rather than U2 drek. And hopefully on Black Friday we get real discounts and not that bag of hurt called a future gift card. I still have mine from last year.
Someone on Bloomberg said Apple's future is software and services because they're high margin businesses. I'm scratching my head at that comment because Apple has been making more and more software free. And services exist to make devices more desirable to own. I'd be curious what software they think will make a lot of money for Apple.
iphone units growth +4% YoY, not impressive. Supply constraints or not everyone "loves" bigger phones? Overall decent results, but stock price seems to stay around $100 for now.
Yeah, revenues up $5,000,000,000 from last yrs quarter (which was also a record last time). I guess I don't know the definition of "decent" if that defines revenues of $43B in a (non-christmas) quarter.
And you're insane if you think it's anything other than supply constraints. These results barely included a a week of iPhone 6/6+ sales. Obviously they're selling every last one they can get. But nice try, troll.
Hilarious how Apple has to completely decimate it's previous record-smashing results, each and every time, so that it gets the honour of having "passable" results in the eyes of perspective-lacking tools. The same tools who concern-troll about Apple losing "marketshare" when all these other companies with "marketshare" are barely making money.

You're talking about Bloomberg so it doesn't surprise me they don't understand what makes Apple tick. It's hardware as you well know. They probably see the IBM connection as being the only software and services that matter. Why give Apple any credit for developing the best mobile device infrastructure when you can always be right when giving IBM credit¡
Haha and Business Insider is already freaking out because Apple Watch is going to be reported in a category called "other products" along with iPods and accessories.

He's thinking of last quarter, I suppose.
Considering that there was no new iPads this year compared to last year then the number sold this past quarter isn't bad at all.
This quarter barely includes 6/6 Plus sales. Most of those sales will be counted next quarter.
9 days of the 6 and 6 Plus to be exact
Exactly. Next quarter is going to be stunning ... new Macs too!

Very impressive quarter. Haven't seen numbers for Macs yet, and I'm too lazy today to look it up on Apple's site.
Perhaps, you could just read the article you are commenting on?

iPhone units up 15%
iPad down 5%
Mac's up 20%!!!!!!
iPad probably down because most were waiting for upgrade plus canibalization from 6 PLUS.
All I can say is the big phones have been a MASSIVE SUCCESS!!
And unlike last year these numbers DON'T INCLUDE CHINA!!!!
High guidance is forecasting 15% revenue growth for Dec quarter.
Wow yeah I forgot that they didn't include china this year in these numbers this is really huge.
I didn't see it in the beginning. But yes, I always read them first.

I guess we know now why the iPad Mini Retina didn't get a lot of R&D iteration love this year...
Common it was, wisdom it was not. I will agree with the all cylinders assessment.

Yeah. I think Tim Cook's job is secure... well, for a quarter or two, at least!
What are the odds that IDC have "other" manufacturers shipping even more tablets & that the iPads share of the market has gone down!?!?
