Shares of Apple AAPL +7.32% jumped nearly 8% in after-hours trading immediately following the results. The period included the launch of the iPhone 4S, and Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer said “tremendous popularity” of the 4S model led iPhone sales growth across all of the company’s segments during a conference call following the report.
