Apple made headlines in late January 2015 when it reported the largest quarterly profit ever in corporate history: $18 billion. A record-breaking $74.6 billion quarterly revenue generated this profit, thanks in large part to the sale of 74.5 million iPhones during the same period.
For Apple, this is a great start to 2015, just as 2014 was a fantastic year for the company. Last year, they sold more than 169 million iPhones, [1] which earned them nearly $102 billion in sales. With $183 billion in total 2014 revenue, and $39.5 billion in profit, [2] Apple is the most valuable company in the world.
