If you look at our total Greater China, which would include our retail stores in China, our revenues were $7.3 billion in the quarter. So this is incredibly high, it’s up over 60 percent year-on-year, and again that’s comparing 13 to 14 weeks, and so it’s really, the underlying growth is higher than that.
We saw exceptional growth in #iPhones, into the triple digits. We shipped #iPad very late in the quarter in December, and despite that, saw very nice growth. We are expanding in Apple retail there: In the year-ago quarter, we had six stores; we now we have 11. We obviously have many more to open there. In our premium resellers, we went over 400, up from a little over 200 in the previous year. And we increased iPhone point-of-sales from 7000 to over 17,000 there.
Now, this isn’t nearly what we need, and it’s not the final by any means, we’re not even close to that, but I feel that we’re making great progress. I was just over there recently and talking to a lot of different people, and I’m very happy with how things are going. It’s clear that China is, it’s already our second-largest region as you can see from the data that we’ve given you, and it’s clear that there’s a lot of potential there.
