STELLAR SALES: Blockbuster sales of the recently released iPhone 6, in particular, are signs of huge pent-up demand for larger-screen smartphones, likely to boost sales throughout this year, according to analysts.

SAN FRANCISCO: Apple’s quarterly profit rocketed to a corporate record US$18bil (RM65bil) at the end of last year on booming sales of big-screen iPhone models, especially in China. 

The California tech titan also announced that it had sold its one billionth device powered by its iOS mobile operating system, on a day of dizzying figures — even by Apple’s high standards.
