A few minutes ago the Apple company announced that in the last 3 months of this year, it recorded revenues of no less than 28.27 billion dollars from the products sold. We are talking about 11.02 million iPad tablets, 17.07 million iPhone terminals. 6.62 million iPods and 4.89 million Macs sold by the company from Cupertino. The company's profit amounts to 6.62 billion dollars and of course there were increases in all departments, but in the end Apple sold 3 million iPhones less than in the previous fiscal quarter. At 0:00 the company will hold an audio conference in which it will discuss this information.
Although Apple sold fewer iPhone terminals, sales of iPad tablets and Macs made up for the shortfall, with the company recording sales records for those products. Both income and profit have reached record limits for the company from Cupertino and in three months we will definitely hear about a considerable increase on all levels, especially since the iPhone 4S is selling extremely well and the winter holiday season is coming.
