Yesterday, Apple announced that it had a monster quarter. In Q4, it sold 74.5 million iPhone sales to go along with $74.6 billion in revenue and $18 billion in profits. Not only that, but it broke the record for the most money made by any corporation in history.

Having a hard time figuring out how to quantify numbers like that? Check out this incredible visualizer.

As soon as you load up the page, it’ll start counting how much profit Apple has made since you loaded the page, as well as how many iPhones, iPads, and Macs. For example, in the three minutes I spent on the site, Apple made$1.8 million in revenue, $450,000 in profits, sold nearly 2,000 iPhones, 573 iPads, and 150 Macs.

There’s not much more than that, but it’s a great site none the less to put Apple’s most historic quarter ever in more human terms. Check it out.
