Apple beat Wall street expectations across the board for revenue, posting record Q4 numbers.
They did this while undergoing a major manufacturing transition away from using Samsung as their fabricator.
Apple is heroically defending it's intellectual property by suing their former manufacturing partner, who is flooding the market with knock-offs of Apple's iPhone.
What Wall street liked most were the iPhone sales numbers.
iPad sales were all based on the current or "old" version sales not the new iPad Air and Retina iPad mini.
I think thats why they were unimpressive.
Anybody wanting to buy an iPad since August is waiting for the new ones, just in time for Christmas, if supply meets demand.
