Apple executives praised the company’s record quarterly iPhone and iPad sales Monday.

Were it not for foreign exchange and other issues, revenue would have been $2.5 billion higher than the $57.6 billion that Apple took in during the October-to-December quarter, CFO Peter Oppenheimer said in a conference call with investors.
