The results were lifted by the sale of 20.3 million iPhones, millions more than analysts had expected.

IPad sales came in at 9.25 million units, also above analyst expectations. Last quarter, the company was struggling to make enough of the new iPad 2.

In other product categories, trends were less impressive. Sales of Mac computers were 3.95 million, up 14 percent from a year ago. That's the lowest quarterly growth rate in two years.

IPod sales were down 20 percent at 7.5 million, as the media players continue to lose out to iPhone and iPads. It was the fastest quarterly decline yet.
