We sold more iPhones than ever before and set all-time revenue records for iPhone, Services, Mac and Apple Watch, said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. Revenue from Services grew strongly over last year, led by record customer activity on the App Store, and we are very excited about the products in our pipeline.

Our outstanding business performance resulted in a new all-time record for earnings per share, and over $27 billion in operating cash flow, said Luca Maestri, Apple's CFO. We returned nearly $15 billion to investors through share repurchases and dividends during the quarter, bringing cumulative payments through our capital return program to over $200 billion.
