Apple Inc. sold more iPhones in greater China than in the U.S. for the first time, buoyed by the New Year gift-giving holiday as the larger-screened smartphones found eager buyers in Asia.

While the Cupertino, California-based tech company doesn’t break out iPhone shipments by country, Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri confirmed the sales in an interview Monday, after the company reported record profit during the first three months of the year. He didn’t give specific unit sales figures.
