That's less than Apple did over that same period.

Just as impressive? Apple, against a bigger number, is growing faster than these companies.

  • Apple's sales were up 30% for the quarter.
  • Microsoft's sales were up 8%.
  • Amazon's sales were up 15%.
  • Google's sales were up 15%.

We could be here all day marveling at Apple's quarter. It's nuts how much better Apple is doing than the rest of the tech industry right now.
