Forums - Sales - Apple's Q4 earnings are out, records set for revenue, earnings, and sales

Apple's Q4 earnings are out, records set for revenue, earnings, and sales (Update: earnings call liveblog!)

Another Apple earnings report, another winner quarter for the company. Apple says its 2010 fiscal fourth quarter results are its "highest revenue and earnings ever," with records set for Mac, iPhone and iPad sales. Some of the highlight numbers include 14.1 million iPhones sold (up 91 percent over Q4 last year), 3.89 million Macs (up 27 percent), 9.05 million iPods (down 11 percent), and 4.19 million iPads. It all added up to an all-time record for Apple of $20.34 billion in revenue for a net profit of $4.31 billion. And of course, Apple couldn't resist stoking the upcoming-event-rumor flames a little bit: "We still have a few surprises left for the remainder of this calendar year." Hit up the press release after the break. The earnings call is starting in a few minutes, we'll be liveblogging it right here!

14 Million iPhones in this quarter alone.

No wonder the iPhone is getting great gaming support

27.3m iOS devices sold over the summer.

I have the feeling executives at Sony and Nintendo are sweating bullets right about now. Those numbers are frightening.

There's a good chance that mobile gaming through a traditional device is slowly getting squeezed out, just as the iPad is squeezing laptop/netbook sales. Apple is finally bringing true device convergence through electronics. Everyone else is still playing catch-up.

Bah, I totally beat you to this thread.

It's probably good that you made it, though, since my threads always come with a cloaking device pre-installed.

I'll just note that Apple will probably sell around 20 million iPhones in the holiday quarter, which would round out iPhone sales to a cool 50 million units this calendar year. Throw in the iPod Touch and iPad and you're looking at probably a little less than 90 million iOS devices for the year.

Apple are insane this just confirms it. Funnily enough people talk about Android being the big competitor but it would probably take 30 years for Google to make as much on phones as Apple has thus far.



Tease.

I think they'll do better than that. They just sold 27m iOS devices over the summer. It's possible they could do 40m or more over the final quarter of the year.
