- 7.54 million iPods sold (down 20% which is no surprise since iPhones duplicate iPod functionality).
- 3.95 millions Macs sold (up 14%).
That is a huge number of iPhones and iPads. I'm quite surprised they had their best quarter ever for iPhones considering the next iPhone is only a few months away. I would have expected a drop in iPhone sales. |
Because consumers shouldn't care about this stuff. Unless you're a shareholder, why would you care? That is one thing I don't get about apple fans. They are constantly bringing up sales figures and share prices, yet they aren't the ones making the money, they are the ones turning people into billionaires by constantly buying the same overpriced products over and over again for the last 6 years.
