74.4 milioane de iPhone, 21.4 milioane de tablete iPad, 5.5 milioane de Mac-uri si milioane de iPod-uri au fost vandute in Q1 2015(Q4 2014) pentru restul lumii) de Apple. Compania americana a avut 74.6 miliarde de dolari in incasari, 18 miliarde de dolari in profit, acesta fiind cel mai profitabil trimestru fiscal din istoria sa. Facand o comparatie cu aceeasi perioada a anului trecut, compania Apple a avut incasari cu 17 miliarde mai mari si profit cu 4.9 miliarde mai mare, vanzarile de terminale iPhone 6 si iPhone 6 Plus ajutand-o sa isi creasca substantial performantele financiare.
China a fost principall “motor” de crestere pentru compania Apple, cei din Cupertino devenind acolo principalii vanzatori de smartphone-uri intr-un trimestru fiscal extrem de interesant. Pentru prima oara in istorie Apple a vandut mai multe smartphone-uri in China decat in SUA, deci vorbim despre o adevarata realizare pentru cei din Cupertino in ultimele trei luni. Majoritatea analistilor din intreaga lume s-au asteptat la realizari foarte mari din partea companiei Apple si se pare ca ea nu a dezamagit, asa ca pretul actiunilor sale vor creste cel mai probabil pe masura in urmatoarele ore.
La ora 12:00 compania Apple va sustine o conferinta de presa pentru a discuta despre rezultatele sale financiare, iar aici veti gasi toate detaliile prezentate de catre ea.
