Profits were up 12.3 percent to $7.75 billion, while earnings per share climbed from $1.07 to $1.28 when adjusted for the recent 7-to-1 stock split.

iPhone sales rose 12.7 percent to 35.2 million units, ending up just slightly below analyst projections for the quarter. iPad sales were more disappointing, declining 9.2 percent to 13.28 million units. Mac sales made for a more positive turn, growing 17.6 percent to 4.4 million.
