Margins are down
Based on those numbers and my rough calculations it sounds like, overall, margins are down by almost 1% (~15 to ~14%) from a year ago. Sounds like Apple is starting to feel some internal business scalability issues.
Given the trouble with MobileMe and the bugginess of the new firmware, it sounds like this is extending to their ability to roll out products as well.
Hopefully they can reign in these operational problems without hurting product development.
