<p>Consumer gadgets giant Apple has reported record sales and profits for its Christmas quarter after demand for iPads and iPhones topped expectations.</p>
<p>Net income in the three months to December 25 rose 78% to 6 billion dollars (£3.75 billion) and revenues climbed 71% to 26.7 billion dollars (£16.7 billion) as Apple&#8217;s newest product, the iPad tablet computer, became one of the most popular gifts over the festive period.</p>
<p>Apple said it sold 7.3 million of the touch-screen, keyboard-less gadgets &#8211; about a million more than Wall Street analysts had been expecting.</p>
<p>The company also sold 16.2 million iPhones, or 86% more of the smartphones than a year ago.</p>
<p>Apple&#8217;s shares climbed in after-hours trading in New York on Tuesday night, having slipped more than 2% in regular trading following news that chief executive Steve Jobs is taking a further medical leave of absence.</p>
<p>Despite the success of the iPad, which went on sale in April, Apple said it also sold 4.13 million Macs during the quarter, a 23% rise on a year ago.</p>
<p>It sold 19.5 million iPods, a drop of 7% on the end of 2009 but this was offset by an increase in the average amount that people spent on the music devices.</p>
<p>Apple also highlighted its growth in the Asia Pacific region as revenues from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan totalled 2.6 billion dollars (£1.6 billion), about 10% of its total revenues and four-times the level a year ago.</p>
