$76.2 billion. $76.2 billion. $76.2 billion. Wow.
Looks like Apple is on track to bring in at least $100 billion in revenue this fiscal year. And they have 41.7% gross margins! Ridiculous. Their stock should be at $500 in a month.
The big news is the iPad number. That's what matters here because it's at the forefront of the next phase in computing.
I'm sure tomorrow will be hardware releases as they've confirmed Lion. They'll want to throw a surprise at us
If I remembered correctly - I qualified for the SL upgrade, all I had to do was provide my receipt number and they shipped a physical copy to me.
edit: Oops, I guess it will be downloadable via the App store!
I'm not sure who exactly you think expected that many, but the analysts were saying in the range of 16-17 million which they blew past.
This is precious, from Tim:
"we believe it is much easier for iPad 2 to cannibalize Windows sales than Mac sales..."
"we believe it is much easier for iPad 2 to cannibalize Windows sales than Mac sales..."
Yay, a new signature I can use!This is precious, from Tim:
"we believe it is much easier for iPad 2 to cannibalize Windows sales than Mac sales..."
"iPad 2 sales were a worldwide feenzy" and "we finally achieved supply-demand balance on some SKU's in July."
Only Lion. That's not to say they won't launch the MacBook Air tomorrow, but all they confirmed was Lion.
They've always said that it wasn't a revenue-generator. It's a little over even.Wow the iTunes store only accounts for only 5% of Apple's revenue?
By the way, could Apple finally buy Dell, shut it down, and give the money back to the shareholders?
What is this I wonder....You say iPhone 5 but transition says something to me like Computer switch or something
Well, the smartphone market grew by about 20% from Q1 to Q2. 19 million+20% is about 23 million. And you'd expect that the iPhones sales are above the market increase.
Without communism and low cost labor in non-democratic countries, there would be no iProducts. That's the real irony.
Personally, I like the $100 iTunes/App Store credit deal better than the iPod one, even though it's of lesser value. I'd make better use of it than an iPod, that's all.
