Apple’s holiday quarter is always much better than the other quarters. If you look at the graph I linked to, you can see the regular spikes in Apple’s revenue and earnings, that’s the holiday quarter. Apple will very likely grow year-over-year next quarter while its earnings and profits will shrink sequentially. That’s the way it has always been in the last years and its not the least bit surprising. There is not really a need to justify such a prediction. You can’t just look at sequential growth.
