There’s no recession in Apple land. The company's surging super phone, and ever-expanding iPod sales, helped offset a modest decline in Macs in quarterly results announced this morning.

iPhone sales double
The company announced a 15% lift in net income and 8.7% rise in revenue, driven by iPhone sales that doubled to 3.79 million during the period - making it the best non-holiday quarter in Apple's history.

iPod sales registered a 3% jump to 11 million, with the high-end Touch doubling its shipments. All told, the iPhone and iPod Touch have sold a combined 37 million units over their product lifetimes.

Sales of Macs and MacBooks fell 3% to 2.22 million units - deemed a solid result by most analysts given the tanking personal computer market.

The company provided no update on chief executive Steve Jobs' health, beyond that he was still scheduled to return from his six month leave of absence in June.

Looking ahead, Apple predicted profit and revenue modestly lower than the street’s expectations.

However, the company’s track-record of cautious forecasting saw analysts unfazed by the anticipated dip. Apple shares (NAS: AAPL)  were up more than 3% in after-hours trading following the announcement.
