Apple delivers record Q4 earnings, powered by iPhones, services

Apple on Tuesday posted record results for the final three months of last year delivered by gains in iPhone sales even as the company transitions to digital services and wearables.

Striking a somber tone on an earnings call, chief executive Tim Cook said the company is closely watching the deadly viral outbreak hitting China, where Apple has customers, partners, suppliers and employees.

“Our thoughts are with all of those that are affected across the region,” Cook said.
