Tech giants' profits soar as pandemic boom continues


Apple's profits nearly doubled to $21.7bn in the three months to 30 June as customers bought pricier 5G iPhones. Microsoft saw a $16.5bn profit at the same time - up 47% year-on-year, due to demand for cloud services and games. Analysts warned that the figures may lead to calls for tech company curbs. Google's parent company, Alphabet, also reported on Tuesday that quarterly sales and profits had surged to record highs. That was largely down to an increase in spending on online advertising aimed at customers who were stuck at home shopping online due to restrictions.
