(AAPL) profit almost doubled last quarter, reflecting robust demand for the iPhone in China and purchases of a new version of the iPad. Apple rose after reporting that robust demand for the iPhone in China fueled a 94 percent surge in quarterly profit, allaying the growth concerns that had sliced the company’s shares by 12 percent since April 9.
