US technology giant Apple has seen profits beat forecasts, due to strong demand for Mac computers and iPods.

The firm saw profit climb to $1.07bn (£534m) in the fiscal third quarter, up 31% from $818m from a year earlier.

However, despite beating market forecasts the firm predicted lower earnings ahead.

The company shipped 2.5 million Macs in the quarter, marking a rise of 41% year-on-year, while shipments of its iPod music player rose 12%.
