Apple also noted that its gross margin is back up to 39.4%, up from 36.9% during Q3 2013.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said the following on the current quarter and the future:
Our record June quarter revenue was fueled by strong sales of iPhone and Mac and the continued growth of revenue from the Apple ecosystem, driving our highest EPS growth rate in seven quarters. We are incredibly excited about the upcoming releases of iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, as well as other new products and services that we can’t wait to introduce.
