Apple Q3 2007 Financial Results on July 25, 2007

We need Steve for the next 30 years of Apple Inc. Just think what cool products they will be delivering in 2037. "One never knows!" Steve Jobs' response to whether Apple would be offering HD movie rentals on the AppleTV, he simply said, "One never knows!" I took that to be a YES. Or at the very least "We're working on it"

It certainly is better than Sculley and Amelio! HD on Apple TV? It needs to deliver 1080p first.
 
ATT only activates 146,000 iPhones in first two days

(07-24) 11:19 PDT -- Apple Inc. shares fell as much as 5 percent Tuesday after AT&T said it activated 146,000 iPhones during the first few days of the highly-anticipated product's launch, far less than Wall Street's initial sales estimates.
AT&T, the only cell phone operator to carry the iPhone, revealed the iPhone activation figures in its earnings report Tuesday. The telecom giant said that of the 146,000 iPhone customers signed in the first two days of the product's existence, more than 40 percent of them were new subscribers.
But Wall Street analysts had estimated that Apple and AT&T had sold as many as 700,000 iPhones during the first weekend. The iPhone hit stores at 6 p.m. on Friday, June 29. Both AT&T and Apple's quarters ended June 30.

What do you think the chances of more iTunes Plus labels being announced. I was browsing iTunes earlier - specifically Epiphanie by Para One, I clicked 'more' on the comment that was there and the tracks suddenly had the + icon next to them. I've checked and Institubes doesn't appear as one of EMI's labels on the wikipedia page, so maybe an announcement - though perhaps not a great shock...
 
Announcements aren't really made at quarterly conference calls. They are usually an explanation of sales and profits figures from the previous 3 months.

True - although adding a few labels might not warrant a separate announcement - thought they might offer a breakdown of current iTunes Plus sales followed by a quick note on new independent labels that are joining. Maybe just wishful thinking as most of the music I buy is on independent labels and I'm loving the ability to remix and Dj with iTunes music, but hating that it's only (some of) EMI's music. New labels can't come soon enough!
 
so...

let me rephrase what ATT said -

in the first 30 hours of the weekend, excluding all of sunday, 147,000 iphones were activated.

  • from this we know that at least 147,000 iphones sold that weekend.
  • we do not know how many sold on sunday.
  • we do not know how many sold online - ummm...i didn't have time to stand in that line nor did i want to
  • we know ATT downplayed the activation problems - 2% had to wait a few days, but i'm sure a huge majority were delayed at least until sunday early morning hours (1AM/2AM/etc)
  • who cares about ebay/craigslist - see top 3 on this list

i think the street overreacted. i wonder how many phones were sold that weekend. i'll give you a hint - its more than 147k. =)
 
Obviously, it had to be at minimum of 147,000 sales in that time period. Still, even if this number tripled it would be less than many analysts were forecasting for the first weekend.

Sure, the markets overreacted. The markets always overreact. It's what markets do.
 
Well aapl had a little hiccup today. On paper I lost about 16K
This is where one needs to be patient and not panic.

It will rebound on Thursday after earnings. The story is still iPods and Macs for now. The iPhone is huge and there is no need to for apple to really tells all the details we want. They will keep the competition guessing.

Suppose Thursday brings another loss, perhaps as large as $5 per share. What then? You will lose another 15k right? See why putting all your eggs in one basket isn't the best thing to do? Diversify your investments. It's better for the long run.

i will smile if i just hear mr. jobs say,

"oh, and one more thing..."

one can dream.

".... Finally, we project that overall Macintosh retail share may reach 10% by 2015 with about 45%. Well, that concludes our third-quarter earnings and projections report for fiscal year 2007. Oh, and one more thing... Apple will be holding a media event on the 31st in the Apple Expo auditorium."

:eek:
 
Buy the rumor, sell the news. OSX gave back some market share in June, while Vista surged, so expect another rough day for the stock.

The iPhone should have been made available to all, not just AT&T. Perhaps even an iNetwork.

Did AT&T also send Steve a back bill for long distance he nabbed with the tone stealer at Berkley?

:)

I can't see Apple jumping right to 1080P support...the file sizes will be too large. Not to mention Jobs knows the future of his online store, so it seems likely he built the Apple TV with 720P support for a reason.

If you have downloaded a movie trailer and imported it into iTunes, I have to say, it looks pretty damn good. Better than HD cable...not quite as good as my HD DVD's, but very good.

Were does the poster say that it is all of their eggs. For all you know they could have a very large and diverse basket.
 
I dont see what the fuss about. It was on sale for 18 hours of retail time at only 2,000 locations. It includes none purchased online, on the Sunday etc. Overall, we are probably looking at about 250,000 sold in that first weekend, which is fantastic for a phone (and a record for AT&T). that costs $600 and $2,000 over two years
 
Quick summary:

.92 per share
5.41 billion revenue

9.8 million ipods
1.764 million Macs
270,000 iPhone
