The technology giant sold 47.5 million iPhones in the quarter to 27 June, up 35% on a year ago, with Mac computer sales up 9% to 4.8 million. The performance resulted in what chief executive Tim Cook called "an amazing quarter".Profits rose by 38% to $10.7bn (£6.87bn), while revenue was up 33% to $49.6bn.

科技巨头苹果公司截止6月27日第三季度卖出4750万部手机，销量比上一年增长35%，苹果Mac电脑售出480万台，增幅达9%。这一业绩即苹果首席执行官蒂姆·库克所言“神奇的一季度。利润增长了107亿美元(68.7亿英镑)，增幅达38%，而主营业务收入增长了33%，达496亿美元。

The third quarter is typically the slowest for iPhone sales because many customers put off buying new phones, on the expectation of a new model.

第三季度通常是苹果手机销量最缓慢的季度，因为消费者推迟购买新机的计划，期待着新款机型。

Despite the strong results, shares fell 6.7% in after-market trading in New York. Analysts blamed the fall on disappointment about the company's revenue forecasts for the fourth quarter, which were slightly lower than expected, as well as the firm's profits being too heavily dependent on the iPhone.

尽管销售成果很强悍，纽约售后市场的股份还是跌了6.7个百分点。分析师把下跌归咎于公司第四季度的收入预报比预期略低，令人失望，同时，公司利润大部分主要依靠苹果手机的销售。
