 SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - All eyes have recently been on the iPhone, Apple Inc.'s newest family member, but the company's fiscal third-quarter results showed the elder Macintosh computer was still flexing its muscles, helping to drive record profits that blew past Wall Street's expectations.
Apple shares surged more than 9 percent in extended trading Wednesday after the computer and gadget maker reported that earnings grew 73 percent.
The company sold a record 1.76 million Macintosh computers during the quarter, up 33 percent from the year-ago period, far outpacing the industry's growth rate. Mac sales and services accounted for more than 60 percent of the quarter's revenue, the company said.
