Apple: 3.79M iPhones Sold in Q2
Yesterday Apple released Q2 results and beat Wall Street expectations. The highlights were the following:
- Apple sold 2.22 million Macs (3% decline YoY)
- Company sold 11 million iPods (3% growth YoY)
- 3.79 iPhones were sold (123% growth YoY)
Between the iPhone and iPod Touch there are now 37 million units globally.
Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook who led the earnings call said that the company was going to stay with AT&T. According to ZDNet Cook described AT&T as “the best wireless provider in the U.S.” and further said the company does not plan to change partners.
Cook also cast doubt on whether Apple would produce a netbook:
"When I look at what is being sold in the netbook space today, I see cramped keyboards, terrible software, junky hardware and very small screens," he said. "It's just not a consumer experience and not something that we would put the Mac brand on, quite frankly."
That doesn't mean that we won't see some sort of device that sits between a Macbook and the iPhone.
In a related story, AT&T is apparently gearing up for the challenge of the Pre and has distributed a cheat sheet that will help employees in stores compare and contrast the iPhone and the Pre:
