Apple 1Q Profit Up 50% On IPhone, Mac Sales >AAPL

Apple Inc.'s (AAPL) fiscal first-quarter profit jumped 50% as the consumer electronics giant doubled the amount of iPhone smartphones it sold and posted unexpectedly strong sales of its Macintosh computers. Results easily topped Wall Street's expectations.

In the quarter ended Dec. 26, 2009, Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple on Monday said it sold 8.7 million iPhones during a very strong holiday sales period.

The company called the performance its "all-time highest revenue and profit" in a press release announcing the financial results. That was partly driven by an accounting change for the iPhone that boosted the company's performance.

"There was tremendous momentum through the holidays, especially for Macintoshes and iPods," said Apple Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer in an interview with Dow Jones Newswires. Meanwhile, Apple gained market share in the computer, media player and smartphone markets during the quarter, he said.

For the quarter ended Dec. 26, Apple reported earnings of $3.38 billion, or $3.67 a share, up from $2.26 billion, or $2.50 a share, a year earlier. Revenue increased 32% to $15.68 billion, with 42% of sales in the U.S.

WTH? They almost as big as Microsoft now? :(

Wow that sux.

why does that suck slimebeast?

I don't like them. I never liked Apple, Mac, iPod or their fans. Their design, their style and their products have never attracted me, not in the slightest.

It's an annoying company and brand, and I don't want them to be powerful.

U like'em darth? You becoming an Apple fanboy?

nope I don't prefer them simply because they have overpriced products

that doesn't mean I will say "that sux" if I see them becoming a huge company when other companies are going bust or showing losses

What Apple has done is worthy of praise.

Why you want them to do an iGame? Cos it would cause commotion and exitement? Or is it because u like Apple and their products?

Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

Maybe it's just my general apathy for Apple's hardware (though using Final Cut Pro, Compressor, and DVD Studio Pro software is quite nice), but I'm just not seeing why this is so big.

@Darth's post below,

Yea, I agree that there are some cool possibilities, but I guess I'm more interested in seeing the details like price and not getting myself hyped up to an insane status.
