Apple had quite a fiscal 2014, introducing the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, the Apple Watch and Apple Pay -- not to mention its a high-profile acquisition of Beats Electronics.
It also put up some impressive financial numbers on Monday, once again beating expectations for its fourth quarter earnings that ended Sept. 28.
So what about the whole year of 2014? Here are the big numbers:
iPhones: 169.2 million
Apple sold a total of 169.2 million iPhones in its 2014 fiscal year. Its fourth-quarter sales were up by 13% to a record 39.3 million devices.

With the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus having only been out for a few weeks, the strong fourth-quarter could portend a huge few months for Apple.
Nearly 40m iPhones is a big deal and signifies a ginormous iPhone sales quarter for holiday.

iPads: 68 million
Apple's iPad sales are in a steep decline, but it still shipped around 68 million during fiscal year 2014. The company recently rolled out a series of new tablet options, including the iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3, which could boost sales.
However, the newest iPads represent only a slight tweak to the previous lineup, rather than a full refresh.
There are now a whopping 56 different iPad options, as Forbes pointed out.
The iPad has been the one major weakness within the Apple, having been unable to avoid a global dip in tablet sales. Apple CEO Tim Cook sought to ally concern about the iPad during Monday's earnings call, saying the dip is a "speed bump."

Macs: 18.9 million
If iPads were the downer, Mac sales served as the bright spot.
Apple saw a nice uptick in sales of its line of computers, which has helped push it into the top 5 global PC sellers.
Apple's rising computer sales are particularly notable as the rest of the market has suffered a recent decline.
Mac revenues overtook iPad revenues. Oh the shame.

Revenues: $182.8 billion
Apple's revenues are huge. To put that hugeness in context, it dwarfs more than a few countries when compared to nominal GDP.
In other words, Apple's revenue in one year exceeded the value of all of New Zealand's goods and services combined.
Earnings: $39.5 billion
Apple doesn't just bring in a lot of money. It does one of the best jobs at turning a profit.
Apple's FY 2014 profit almost hit $40 billion. Its fourth quarter gross margin, a measure of how well the company turns money spent into income was 38%, which is pretty impressive.

App Store downloads: 85 billion
Cook dropped that doozy during the earnings call: iTunes has served 85 billion app downloads in its history. Sure, it's not a FY 2014 number like the rest, but still.
Stock price
Apple's shareholders must be pretty happy about its success. The company's shares are 37.3% higher in the past 12 months, easily outpacing the broader S&P 500 benchmark index, which rose by 8.9%.
Yet not every shareholder thinks that's good enough. Activist investor Carl Icahn redoubled his efforts to get Apple to escalate its share buyback plan, a move that would see the company use its massive cash stockpile to help drive up the company's stock price.
