Apple on Tuesday reported their profits jumped 93 percent in the March quarter, fueled by strong iPhone sales. iPhone shipments for the first quarter totaled 35.1 million units beating analysts' estimates by nearly 15 percent. Buying in China was a major factor for the surprising sales total as the country was responsible for 20 percent of total sales, up from the 12 percent in 2011.

"They are truly just beginning to grow in Asia, and China is possibly their most important market, where they just really started expanding," said Michael Obuchowski, chief investment officer at First Empire Asset Management, "For Apple right now, the most important part of thinking about their business is the international growth."
