Apple's record quarter, higher earnings per share, and record iPhone and Services results point to stronger business results. Americas sales came in slightly below expectations, but Europe sales beat expectations, so the broad results are favorable.
Record iPhone sales and an all-time high in Services sales support the positive read. The Americas missed its estimate, but Europe beat its estimate. Those regional differences do not erase the broader sales and profit gains.
