They made like $240B revenue in the quarter.. 30% of new iPhone sales are to people switching from Android.
That second paragraph is key, iPhone sales are very uneven given the Apple upgrade and refresh cycle. Even Gene Munster, who you're quoting, is expecting them to sell ~242 million iPhones in CY2016, which is a 5% YoY increase on an absolutely massive base.
From a summary of his research report;
Finally, Munster is also bullish on Apple's anticipated
"iPhone 7," which he believes will begin driving
investor hype in the coming months, despite not being
expected to debut until September of 2016. With a so-
called "iPhone 7" expected to introduce a revamped
design, he believes next year's upgrade will be a
"more revolutionary cycle," driving sales of the
blockbuster handset even higher.
I guess technically, 5% YoY is slowing growth since their earlier performance was absolutely insane, but their iPhone ASP is still increasing to ~$675, so with 40% margins, 10 million incremental phones is another $2.7B in profits.
