Are the first quarter of 2010 figures out yet?
Not yet, apparently. But to put the figures in perspective...
"...Apple sold 3.36 million Macintosh® computers during the quarter, representing a 33 percent unit increase over the year-ago quarter.
The Company sold 8.7 million iPhones in the quarter, representing 100 percent unit growth over the year-ago quarter. Apple sold 21 million iPods during the quarter, representing an eight percent unit decline from the year-ago quarter..."
And for the most recent quarter...
Apple said it sold 8.75 million iPhones for the quarter; analysts were expecting sales of a little over 7 million. In a conference call with analysts, Apple chief operating officer Tim Cook credited much of the increase to strong sales in international markets -- in Asian markets in particular.
"If you look at Asia Pacific as an example, iPhone unit sales grew 474% year over year," he said, describing demand for the device as "fabulous."
The company sold 2.94 million total Mac units, with desktop unit sales up 40% from the same period last year. The company sold nearly 10.9 million iPods -- down 1% from last year, though total iPod revenue was up 12% for the year, suggesting growing popularity for the higher priced iPod Touch.
