And earnings of $1.82/share, way above analysts' predictions of ~$1.42.

For context, the 2008 iPhone sales (whole year, not a quarter) were $1.84B. And now it's $7.4B in one quarter. Is that even possible?

Here's 2009 figures in a similar table: quarter not whole year: http://www.betanews.com/joewilcox/article/Apple-Q4-2009-by-t...

That's 7.4 million sold, not $7.4 billion in sales.

Ah, thanks. Checking the links I posted:

iPhone sales go from $1.84B per year to $2.3B per quarter. Still pretty good.

(EDIT: rather bizarrely, that's precisely a five-fold increase.)
