The last fiscal quarter of a year is, in general, the most profitable for most companies, and this through the prism of Black Friday and the winter holidays. For Apple, it was about the fiscal quarter in which there were records upon records in sales, receipts and profit, and 2014 does not seem to be an exception to the annual rule.
According to American analysts, the Apple company she's getting ready to sell 67 million iPhone terminals during the last 3 months of this year. The number is a record for those from Apple and it is based on the enormous popularity of iPhone 6 si 6 iPhone Plus, the terminals that were and still are extremely sought after in many countries around the world.
Last year the Apple company sold 51 million iPhone terminals in Q4 2013, and this year sales could even reach 70 million units, according to some analysts. The difference in sales would be approximately 40% and if it seems small, we must not forget that we are talking about smartphones that have an average selling price of €700.
In this idea, last year the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), recorded a profit of 13.1 billion dollars based on all products sold, but this year it could reach up to 16 billion dollars with more than 60 billion dollars in receipts. Although the information looks great, the problem for Apple is that tablets its iPads are no longer as popular as in past years, so it remains to be seen whether iPhone sales will compensate for the decline in the tablet segment.
Based on this information, we can once again conclude that Apple will collect the largest percentage of the profits of mobile phone manufacturers, most of them only managing to cover their expenses. Having said that, the Apple company is preparing for the best fiscal quarter in history with the highest sales, revenue and profit.
