China iPhone sales boost Apple; shares up modestly


EXCITING TIMES AHEAD: Apple gave no sales figures for its recently released Apple Watch, but did say the current quarter was off to "an exciting start".

Apple Inc beat Wall Street's revenue and profit forecasts as it sold more iPhones in China than the United States for the first time, but the company gave no sales figures for its new Apple Watch. 

Apple's iPhone sales in China soared, increasing its revenue in the country 71% to US$16.8bil (RM59.62bil), although that was helped by gift-buying for Chinese New Year.
