Apple just announced at their earnings conference that “retail revenue was $2.58b; $5.33 billion in iPhone revenue, which is a 74 percent increase, with $2.17 billion in iPad revenue — $2.1b of that was iPad, the rest was accessories.” They also reiterated that the return rate for iPhone 4s is far less than that of its predecessor, the iPhone 3G S, despite the many glaring issues.
