Apple executives speak: On toaster-fridges, financial guidance, and lawsuits

It's a combination of these things and the halo that both of these products have produced for the Mac is also incredible. Mac was up over 60 percent year-over-year, and that compares to a market rate of growth of about 6 percent.

We have expanded point of sales. On a year-over-year basis, Mac is up 70 percent, but still in only 1,800 [retail stores] for all of greater China. And so there's obviously a lot more opportunity there. iPhone, we're up over 11,000 [stores], which is 138 percent, but 11,000 is a much smaller than we have in the U.S., and obviously China will in the next few years be a bigger opportunity. iPad is only in 2,500 points of sale.

Yes, we've expanded, we've expanded a lot, however, there's a lot of headroom there in our view.

[Any different mix of iPhone sales in China vs the rest of the world?]

I don't have that in front of me, but my recollection is that it wasn't materially different; keep in mind that iPhone 4S just launched within the quarter, and so usually when a new product launches within a quarter you would expect it to mix fairly much toward the new product.
