Apple also revealed that iPhone sales have been stronger than some expected with 43.719 million units sold, up 17%, however iPad devices sold 16.35 million units, down -16% which is lower than expected.
Apple CEO Tim Cook explained : “We’re very proud of our quarterly results, especially our strong iPhone sales and record revenue from services,”-“We’re eagerly looking forward to introducing more new products and services that only Apple could bring to market.”
“We generated $13.5 billion in cash flow from operations and returned almost $21 billion in cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases during the March quarter,” said outgoing CFO Peter Oppenheimer. “That brings cumulative payments under our capital return program to $66 billion.”
Apple’s (AAPL) share closed on Wednesday at the bell for $524.75 but after the results gained more than $40 in after hours trading.
