Consumers take up 1.4m iPhones.

The iPhone helped Apple to grow revenues by 29 per cent year-over-year for the past quarter to US$6.22bn (AUD$7.011bn) The firm reported a surge in net profit to US$904m (AUD$1bn), a 67 per cent increase.

Apple first introduced the iPhone on 29 June, which fell under the previous financial quarter. Another 1,119,000 iPhones were sold this quarter, pushing the total tally to 1,389,000.
