Last month we put together a visualization of where Apple made their money over the past fiscal year. In light of Apple's crushing earnings in Q1, we've created a new graphic that breaks down Apple's revenue for this historic quarter.

As you can see, though iPad sales are down 17%, iPhones are up 46% and make up a tremendous chunk of their earnings. Also Apple eclipsed Google's entire year's revenue in just the past three months.
