Apple's earnings are in, and as expected the company got a nice boost in sales over the holidays. We're talking 51 million iPhones sold -- an all-time quarterly record -- up from 47.8 million during the same quarter last year. It's unclear just how the iPhone sales break down between the iPhone 5c and 5s models, as Apple didn't offer those numbers. iPad sales reached a record quarterly high as well, at 26 million up from 22.9 million during the same year-ago quarter. Profit, meanwhile, comes in at $13.1 billion, showing no change year-over-year.
Mac sales are also up; with a jump to 4.8 million from 4.1 million in the year-ago quarter. Also record-setting was Cupertino's reported quarterly revenue of $57.6 billion. Apple's board of directors has also announced that shareholders will receive a $3.05 cash dividend per stock early next month.
Clearly, there are plenty of positive stats this time around, and Apple's predicted additional growth for its fiscal 2014 second quarter; it expects revenue between $42 and $44 billion and a gross margin between 37 and 38 percent (the margin came in at 37.9 percent during the fiscal 2014 first quarter). As always, we'll be listening in on Apple's earnings conference call, so stay tuned.
