Apple has posted all-time record revenue of $20.34 billion and net quarterly profit of $4.31 billion, or $4.64 per diluted share for its fiscal 2010 fourth quarter ended September 25, 2010.
Apple sold an amazing 14.1 million iPhones in the quarter, up 91 percent over the year-ago quarter. Apple also sold 4.19 million iPads, which it had launched earlier in the quarter.
Apple sold 3.89 million Macs during the quarter, up 27 percent unit over the year-ago quarter. Apple also sold 9.05 million iPods during the quarter, representing an 11 percent decline over the year-ago quarter.
Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs said:
We are blown away to report over $20 billion in revenue and over $4 billion in after-tax earnings - both all-time records for Apple. iPhone sales of 14.1 million were up 91 percent year-over-year, handily beating the 12.1 million phones RIM sold in their most recent quarter. We still have a few surprises left for the remainder of this calendar year.
Below are some of the estimates made by analysts on how many iPhones, iPods, Macs and iPads Apple will sell in the fourth quarter:
Wall Street doesn’t seem to like the results. Apple's stock is currently trading at approximately $298 down approximately $20.23 (~6.36%).
Apple will be holding its Q3 conference call at 2:00 p.m. PDT today. You can listen to the audio webcast of Apple’s conference call here.
We can't wait to find out about the amazing new products that Apple is expected to launch at the ‘Back to Mac’ special event on Wednesday.
Interesting.
With all this money Apple should open a new store in Brazil. We are waiting anxiously for it!
IF iPhones pods and pads were un jailbreakable would they have sold this many?
One of the reasons why apple sold their products with high numbers is because of the branding. I remember the days where macbooks where not that popular with so little sales, they concentrate their marketing on iPods and people just loved it… now the snowball effect happens in which the MAC branding made it successfull. Too bad Apple now makes overpriced product in which you can just get the features to other brands with cheaper price
Stop with the speculatory BS, jailbreakers account for ~5-10% of iPhone/iPod Touch users (and from what I understand that's being a little generous). So, yes, Apple most likely would have sold nearly as many without jailbreaking. Apple moves big numbers because they make quality products, provide a quality user experience, and have an incredible marketing team. Regardless of your opinion of the quality of their products or user experience, the numbers speak for themselves. Just because you don't like the product, experience, or the way that Apple handles things, does not make it sh!t; it simply means that you don't like it, that's called an opinion not a fact.
