Apple makin paper like a BOSS

Apple makin paper like a BOSS
There’s always a lot of noise made by the press when Apple is due to release its quarterly earnings data. This quarter Apple has pounded Wall Street analyst expectations. I won’t bore you too much with the details ‘cept… all the details (which I ripped from Techcrunch):

    • -Highest quarterly revenue and profit ever.
    • -Record iPhone and iPad sales
    • -June quarter record for Mac sales
    • -Mac sales strong in the Asia Pacific region in particular (that's us)
    • -iPod touch continues to account for over half of iPods sold—over 70% of market still
    • -iTunes revenue up 36% year over year
    • -225 million iTunes accounts
    • -15 billion songs downloaded
    • -iPhone 20.3 million sales
    • -iPad 9.2 million sales “we sold every iPad we could make”
    • -iPad 2 launched in 36 countries. Now in 64 countries

Last year Apple had $65Bn in the bank. Today—they have $76Bn. Basically, this means you don’t fuck with Apple or they’ll buy your ass… kinda like Microsoft back in the day.
