Apple had a record quarter from January to March

Apple has just reported its quarterly results for its fiscal second quarter, which ended on March 26 and is thus confusingly the first quarter of the year (fiscal years are funny like that sometimes). Anyway, it's good news for the Cupertino company, as it's posted record revenue for a March quarter. Apple's revenue was $97.3 billion in that quarter, up 9% year-on-year (aka compared to the 2021 March quarter).
