Not to mention this observation from The Motley Fool:

On Thursday, the day after Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) reported earnings of $13.81
a share on revenue of $54.5 billion, Apple's stock fell by over 12%. Last
year’s EPS for the same quarter was $13.87 and revenue came in at $46.3
billion, but last year also had a 14 week long quarter compared to a 13 week
long quarter this time around. Many said Apple's earnings were flat, but if
you factor in that extra week Apple would have theoretically made $14.87 a
share on revenue of $58.69 billion. Net income was $13.1 billion, $14.107
billion if you add in the extra week. So when those in the financial media
are saying that Apple's earnings were flat or that Apple has lost its magic,
you have to consider that extra week and then you realize that it's not as
bad as it seems.

An extra week

What does an extra week mean for Apple? Well, it sold about 3.7 million
iPhones per week compared to 2.6 million per week last year. That would have
bumped Apple's total iPhone sales up to 51.5 million for the quarter. They
also sold 1.7 million iPads per week compared to 1.1 million per week last
year, which would have bumped up Apple's total iPad sales to 24.6 million
for the quarter. A similar story plays out for iPods, Macs, and the other
divisions of Apple. Had Apple been given another week it would have hit the
"blowout" earnings people wanted.
