For the first quarter of 2015, Apple announced revenue of $74.6 billion and net quarterly profit of $18 billion, on 74.5 million iPhone sales, 5.5 million Mac sales, and 21.4 million iPad sales. This was by far the best corporate earning in history. Apple will announce earning for the quarter ending March 31st, on April 27th. The overall result should be positive , but expect some bad news about one product. First the the good news
