Apple has posted impressive quarterly earnings for the
14-week period ending on December 31, 2011.
According to a press release, the company reported a
quarterly revenue of $46.33 billion, as well as a quarterly net profit of
$13.06 billion, or $13.87 per diluted share, the company's best quarterly
results yet.
"These results compare to revenue of $26.74 billion and
net quarterly profit of $6 billion, or $6.43 per diluted share, in the year-ago
quarter," per the release.
The Verge reports on the company's record-shattering iPhone,
iPad and Mac sales, writing, "Apple sold an astonishing 37.04 million
iPhones, 15.43 million iPads and 5.3 million Macs during the quarter, which
represent increases of 128 percent, 111 percent, and 26 percent from last year.
That's 2m more phones sold than Samsung shipped last quarter, which is
astonishing."
In a statement accompanying the news, Apple CEO Tim Cook
said, “We’re thrilled with our outstanding results and record-breaking sales of
iPhones, iPads and Macs. [...] Apple’s momentum is incredibly strong, and we
have some amazing new products in the pipeline.”
