Apple's Q3-05
July 13, 2005 @ 05:51 AMThe figures are starting to come up… I will update this entry as more detail is available, but for now, here’s what we know.
Apple smoked their own estimates. Posting quarterly revenue of $3.52 billion, up 75% from the year-ago quarter’s $2.00 billion revenue.
Quarterly profit was up 425% from Q3-04 to $320 million.
Any concerns about a weakening iPod market were put to rest, as Apple shipped 6.1 million iPods, up from 5.3 million last quarter, and a 616% increase in units shipped from a year-ago.
Mac shipments also increased 35% from a year ago, and increased 10% from last quarter, to just over 1.1 million Macs shipped.
