Chief Financial Officer for Apple, Peter Oppenheimer, has been quoted as saying that
Sales of the iPod Touch actually doubled over the previous year. The iPod Touch is similar to an iPhone, but without the phone.
Speaking of that product, I really like them but they can be hard to get a repair in a timely fashion. It is better to do an iphone repair at an independent company that can handle all types of water damage, a cracked screen or dropped iPhone repair, etc.
For it’s part, Apple sales jumped 25 percent to $9.9 billion last quarter. Company spokesmen said its outlook for the current quarter would be well below what analysts are expecting. Apple is known for being extremely conservative in issuing guidance.
Wall Street didn’t buy it and sent the company’s shares up $13.38, or 7.1 percent, to $203.24 in extended trading. The shares had closed regular trading at $189.86, up 1 percent on the day.
On December 3, 2009, Jeff Smykill wrote the following on the ars technica website:
According to one analyst from Caris & Company, Mac sales could grow next year by as much as 26 percent, outpacing the rest of the PC industry, which is expected to grow by only 16 percent. Apple last quarter shipped 17 percent more Mac computers than it did in 2008, but eight percent less iPods, making the 26 percent prediction seem somewhat lofty considering the current economic climate. The report, which Apple Insider was made privy to, concludes that the increase will result in a four percent market share by the end of 2010. iPods are cool but I really love the iPhone, I just wish they were easier to have a repair done.
