Android might have overtaken it as the most used smartphone operating system in the US, but that hasn’t stopped Apple from posting its best quarterly results of all times.
At the conference call for Apple’s Q4 2010 financial results, Apple revealed that they have managed to post a record revenue of $20.34 billion and net quarterly profit of $4.31 billion. It also sold a staggering 14.1 million iPhones in the quarter – thats a whopping 91% increase over the same quarter, a year ago. They also managed to sell as many as 4.19 million iPads. The iPods o the other hand sold 9.05 million of its kind. This strangely is a 11% decline over the sales in the last quarter.
While the numbers for the iPhone and the iPads sounds impressive, Apple’s success story doesnt end just there. It continues to its Mac lineup where the company sold 27% more Macs in Q4 than it did a year ago. Thats right. We are talking about 3.89 million Macs being sold during the quarter!
Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs quipped:
We are blown away to report over $20 billion in revenue and over $4 billion in after-tax earnings – both all-time records for Apple. iPhone sales of 14.1 million were up 91 percent year-over-year, handily beating the 12.1 million phones RIM sold in their most recent quarter. We still have a few surprises left for the remainder of this calendar year.
Looks like the Apple juggernaut is slowly becoming unstoppable. With the iPhone 4 yet to arrive in many countries, do you think Apple would have a dream run in the forthcoming quarters as well?
