The Cupertino-based organization noted the difference of sales compared to the same quarter in 2012, and it's not a major difference. During the 2012 fourth quarter, Apple sold 14 million units.
Despite the small increase of overall iPad sales, Apple saw $37.5 billion in the quarterly revenue, and the figure is up from the $36 billion the Cupertino-based organization saw during the same period in 2012. Of the $37.5 billion, 60 percent accounted for international sales outside the United States.
