Apple Q1 results: doing so great that it's getting boring. 35M iPhones and 12M iPads sold, 600K apps

Apple has announced its results for the first quarter of this year, and all the numbers are up compared to Q1 of 2011, some even by a lot. The same isn't true if the comparison is with Q4 2011, but that's to be expected – first of all, the last quarter is always the biggest of any year, and secondly this specific quarter was longer than usual, which skewed every company's numbers a bit. Let's dive in. Apple sold 35.1 million iPhones during Q1, 88% more than in the year-ago quarter and 5% less than in Q4 2011. 11.8 million iPads were sold from January to March, 151% more than in the year-ago quarter.
