Acum cateva minute cei de la Apple au publicat un comunicat de presa in care au anuntat ca in Q2 2012 au vandut 35.1 de milioane de iPhone-uri, 11.8 milioane de tablete iPad, 4 milioane de Mac-uri, 7.7 milioane de iPod-uri, avand incasari de 39.2 de miliarde de dolari si profit net de 11.6 miliarde de dolari. Comparand rezultatele acestea cu cele inregistrate anul trecut observam ca incasarile companiei Apple au crescut cu aproape 16 miliarde de dolari, si profitul aproape ca s-a dublat, iar iPhone-urile au jucat un rol foarte important aici.
In Q2 2012 Apple a vandut cu 88% mai multe iPhone-uri decat in aceeasi perioad a anului trecut, cu 151% mai multe tablete iPad cu 7% mai multe Mac-uri si cu 15% mai putine iPod-uri. Apple a vandut marea majoritate a produselor sale in afara statelor unite insa vorbim despre un procent de 64% din vanzari, deci SUA ramane in continuare cea mai importanta piata pentru americani. Peste doar 20 de minute Tim Cook va tine o conferinta impreuna cu alti membri ai echipei de concudere si acolo va detalia rezultatele anuntate stazi.
