On January 27, 2015, Apple officially announced the results for its first quarter of 2015, showing yet another series of months of unprecedented growth. Now, exactly three months to the day, Apple has unveiled its earnings for the second quarter of 2015. As expected, Apple saw yet another incredibly strong three month period, thanks in large part to the iPhone.

“Apple® today announced financial results for its fiscal 2015 second quarter ended March 28, 2015. The Company posted quarterly revenue of $58 billion and quarterly net profit of $13.6 billion, or $2.33 per diluted share.

Gross margin was 40.8 percent compared to 39.3 percent in the year-ago quarter. International sales accounted for 69 percent of the quarter’s revenue.“

In total, Apple announced that it earned a revenue of $58 billion in the quarter, while managing to earn a total of $13.6 billion in total profit within the same stretch. As far as devices go, Apple sold 61.1 million iPhones, 12.6 million iPads and 4.5 million Macs. This quarter had a bigger focus on sustaining iPhone numbers, which Apple certainly did.

Tim Cook had this to say about the results:

“We are thrilled by the continued strength of iPhone, Mac and the App Store, which drove our best March quarter results ever,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “We’re seeing a higher rate of people switching to iPhone than we’ve experienced in previous cycles, and we’re off to an exciting start to the June quarter with the launch of Apple Watch.“

Last quarter, Apple earned $74.6 billion in revenue on the back of 74 million iPhones, 21.4 million iPads, and 5.5 million Macs. Last year, Apple earned $45.6 billion in revenue, on 43.7 million iPhones and 16.35 million iPads.
