Apple released their official quarterly earnings today and surprisingly they did quite a bit better than most analysts had predicted. Apple has typically been known to outperform their lofty goals and as such experts have come to expect ridiculously high goals from the company and today they proved yet again that they are powerful and strong.

The official report showed that Apple sold record numbers of their iPad and iPhone for the past quarter which is very good news. Apple also saw a stock increase of approximately 8 percent today following the announcement which clearly shows that stockholders and financial experts are very pleased with the report from Apple. Overall things for Apple simply went better than planned which is very good news for Apple as a whole because it will help in the future for funding and development costs.
