Apple a anuntat in aceasta seara ca a vandut 37.03 milioane de terminale iPhone, 15.43 milioane de tablete iPad 2, 5.2 milioane de Mac-uri si 15.4 milioane de iPod-uri in ultimele 3 luni ale acestui an incasand peste 46 de miliarde de dolari. Faca o comparatie cu rezultatele anuntate in octombtie, vorbim despre o dublare a numarului de terminale iPhone vandute deci terminalul iPhone 4S a contribuit enorm de mult la cresterea inregistrata de catre compania din Cupertino. Daca este sa vorbim despre profit atunci acesta s-a dublat fata de cel prezentat in octombrie, mai exact in Q1 2012 Apple a inregistrat profit de 13 miliarde de dolari fata de doar 6 inregistrat in Q4 2011.
CUPERTINO, Calif.–Apple® today announced financial results for its fiscal 2012 first quarter which spanned 14 weeks and ended December 31, 2011. The Company posted record quarterly revenue of $46.33 billion and record quarterly net profit of $13.06 billion, or $13.87 per diluted share. These results compare to revenue of $26.74 billion and net quarterly profit of $6 billion, or $6.43 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 44.7 percent compared to 38.5 percent in the year-ago quarter. International sales accounted for 58 percent of the quarter’s revenue.
Practic Apple a inregistrat acum recorduri de vanzari pentru terminale iPhone, tablete iPad si Mac-uri insa din pacate vanzarile de iPod-uri au scazuti de la un trimestru fiscal la altul. In Q1 2012 Apple a inregistrat incasari care insumeaza aproape jumatate din incasarile intregului an 2011 iar in ceea ce priveste profitul vorbim despre o suma dubla fata de cea inregistrata intr-un trimestru fiscal normal. Apple a avut un sfert fiscal extraordinar de bun si totul se datoreaza terminalului iPhone 4S, tabletei iPad si Mac-urilor.
