Apple blew everyone with their quarter profit, shares jump!

Apple blew everyone with their quarter profit, shares jump!

Everyone was showing off their figures, and Apple couldn’t help to show off his figures too. Apple made the most money it ever has over the last three months, $15.7 billion in revenues to be exact. That’s a humongous jump compared to last year’s $9.73 billion, thanks to the 8.4 million iPhones and 9.4 million iPods sold.

This is a great quarter for Apple as they sold 3.47 million Macs. That’s the most Macs ever sold in a quarter. Surprisingly, their newly launched iPads did not do very well (pardon the pun) with 3.27 million iPads sold worldwide.

What’s interesting is that the classical iPods sales drop an 8 percent overall, despite the iPod touch’s sales shooting sky high of 48 percent. But iPod’s market share for mp3 player is still over 70 percent, so there’s nothing to worry about for now, as Apple’s preparing to launch new iPod Touch in few months time.

The iTunes App Store is also doing very well, now with more than 225,000 apps available, 11,000 iPad apps. Download record for apps has hit over 5 billion.

Apple has also claimed that they’ve sold 100 million iOS devices: That’s iPhones, iPads, iPod touches. But please take this with a pint of salt. This statement does not consider those failed and unusable 1st generation iDevices, and those damaged and warrantied iDevices.

However, Apple is now giving out free bumpers for their ‘failed’ iPhone 4. Expected loss would be around $175 million for the free cases.
