On the back of 74 million iPhone sold last quarter, Apple put together the most profitable three month period ever recorded in the business world…. Eat that Samsung and Android.

It is this latest quarter that has smashed records though, with $18 billion made, Apple surpassed the $16 billion made by Russian oil giant Gazprom by $2 billion.
