And their spare cash only went up by around $12 billion, record sales of iPhones & iPads, even net profits were slightly up - obvious disaster
unlike Samsung who had a net 9% sequential decline in handset revenue and a fourth quarter unexpected profit slide down 18% in the traditionally best quarter but that's fine because they're not Apple...
And just to raise two fingers to the "Fanboi Accusers," I use a Samsung Note 3 as my phone because I don't like iPhones...
