Apple Falls Short of Expectations | Paul Thurrotts WinInfo content from Windows IT Pro

More Apple quarterly results perspectives

"But here's a sobering reality: in the fourth quarter, the iPhone was responsible for $32.5 billion in revenues, compared with $24.52 billion for all of Microsoft. That's right: In Q4 2013, just the iPhone was bigger than all of Microsoft.

Apple sold 26 million iPads in the quarter, after launching two new models—the iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina Display—up from the 22.9 million it had sold in the same quarter a year earlier. The big surprise, perhaps, was the Mac, which recorded stronger-than-expected sales of 4.8 million, up from 4.1 million last year. The Mac now controls 5.8 percent of the worldwide market for PCs."
