Apple announced its quarterly earnings Tuesday to, unsurprisingly, a great deal of fanfare on social media. Some highlights from the report, which Fortune’s resident Apple (AAPL) guru Philip Elmer-DeWitt live blogged, include iPhone 6 sales reaching 74 million units, iPad sales falling by double digits and the Apple Watch being scheduled hit reach store shelves in April.
Here’s a collection of some of the best tweets about Apple from Fortune and others from around the web.
