Last night the Apple company submitted the financial results for Q4 2011 and of course we are talking about record revenues and profits. These high revenues are mainly due to the sales of Macs and iPad tablets, which increased by 1 and 4 million units, respectively, compared to the same period last year. Unfortunately, sales of iPhone terminals increased by only 21% compared to the same period last year, but decreased by 3 million units sold compared to the previous fiscal quarter. Apple expected the decrease in sales of iPhone terminals, but also expected the increase of those for iPad 2, so the situation finally balanced out for the company.
