For the quarter that ended Sept. 30, Apple earned $904 million (638.15 million EUR), or $1.01 (.71 EUR) per share, compared with $542 million (382.61 million EUR), or 62 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter.
Apple's fourth-quarter revenue totaled $6.22 billion (4.39 billion EUR), compared with $4.84 billion (3.42 billion EUR) in the same quarter last year.
Analysts polled by Thomson Financial expected earnings of 86 cents per share on $6.07 billion (4.28 billion EUR) in revenue for the period.
Some 1.12 million units of the iPhone were sold in the quarter, and 2.16 million Mac computers were shipped.
