Apple reports record quarterly results with almost 50 million iPhones sold

Apple announced financial results last night for the 13-week period until 29th December 2012, the first quarter of its 2013 financial year. Quarterly revenue reached a company record of $54.5 billion (£34.4 billion) while net profit was $13.1 billion. That’s an 18% year-on-year increase in revenue, although the profit figure was almost unchanged. Non-US sales accounted for 61% of revenue.

47.8 million iPhones were sold in the quarter - a new quarterly record, up 29% from 37 million year-on-year - while iPad sales were boosted by the iPad mini and reached a new record of 22.9 million units (up 48%).

The company expects to generate revenue of between $41 billion and $43 billion during the current quarter, which is Q2 of its current financial year.
