A new report unveiled today by Bloomberg let us know how Apple managed to sell its products in this 2nd quarter that ends tomorrow. We get to know that for the first time in history, iPhones sales in China exceeded the U.S thanks to the huge demand from customers during the New Year celebration.

Even if we don’t get clear numbers, is rumored that in this 2nd quarter, Apple managed to ship 18 – 20 million iPhones in China, and just 14 – 15 million phones in US. In the same quarter, the Cupertino-based company recorded a $12.6 billion of net income and $56 billion in revenue.

According to this report, the main reason why the iPhones sales were bigger in China stands behind the fact that recently China celebrated New Year, so a lot of people decided to start the new year with an iPhone 6 or an iPhone 6 Plus in their pocket.

 

We also get to know that Apple sold just 7.2 million iPads this quarter, compared to the 10 million tablets shipped in the previous quarter.
