Apple appears to be enjoying a good year as it sells
almost 40 million iPhones in the last quarter.
Apple Inc. has said that it sold a
record breaking 39.9 million
iPhones in the last three months.
According to the company, the
figure which is 16 percent more
than what it was a year ago, is
record for the quarter due to
excitement over the new iPhone 6
and 6 Plus models that Apple
began selling last month.
The increase in iPhone sales helped
the company exceed Wall Street's
expectationa for the three months
that ended on September 27.
Daily Mail » reports that the in total,
the company's profit more than 12
percent from a year ago, to $8.5
billion. Total sales also rose more
than 12 percent, to $42.1 billion.
Apple CEO, Tim Cook said: "Our
fiscal 2014 was one for the record
books, including the biggest
iPhone launch ever with iPhone 6
and iPhone 6 Plus. With amazing
innovations in our new iPhones,
iPads and Macs, as well as iOS 8
and OS X Yosemite, we are
heading into the holidays with
Apple's strongest product lineup
ever.
"We are also incredibly excited
about Apple Watch and other
great products and services in the
pipeline for 2015."
While iPhone sales increased, Apple
also sold 13 percent fewer iPad
tablets than it did a year ago,
which follows an industry-wide
decline in tablet sales. But the
company reported lower iPad sales
than analysts had expected.
