Apple’s latest financial results were announced recently, the company reported record revenue for the last financial quarter, they also announced record iPhone sales.
Sales of Apple’s iPad were down slightly, although this is expected to change with the launch of the new iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3 which launched yesterday, and expanding their retail stores in China could also help the company gain more iPad sales.
