Hardware drive
In terms of hardware sales, the quarter - which included the release of iPad 3 - or as Apple calls it 'new iPad' - Apple sold 11.8 million iPads, up 151 percent.

Adding up
"We're thrilled with sales of over 35 million iPhones and almost 12 million iPads in the March quarter," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO.
"The new iPad [aka iPad 3] is off to a great start, and across the year you're going to see a lot more of the kind of innovation that only Apple can deliver."
"Our record March quarter results drove $14 billion in cash flow from operations," said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's CFO.
"Looking ahead to the third fiscal quarter, we expect revenue of about $34 billion and diluted earnings per share of about $8.68."
Apple ended the quarter with $110 billion in cash, cash equivalents, short-term and long-term marketable securities, up 35 percent or $28.6 billion from 31 December 2011.
