Apple announced today in Cupertino its financial results for the third fiscal quarter of 2009, which finished September 26. The obtained income was of 9,87 billion dollars and the profit of the period was of US$1,67 billion. The result overcame the analysts’ expectation, that waited for income of US$9,2 billion. This was the most lucrative quarter of the history of the company.
The company sold more than 3 million Macs in the period, what represents an increase of 17% in amount of units sold in comparison with the equivalent period last year. The iPhone also grew: 7,4 million units sold in the period, an increase of 7% in relation to the already successful third quarter of 2008. The iPod, however, didn’t follow the same tendency: they were sold about 10 million units, a fall of 8% in relation to Q3 of 2008.
In spite of the times of caution in the economy and of their computers costing, in its majority, more than a thousand dollars, Apple also got to increase its portion in the market of computers for the largest market share in 15 years. The researches don’t arrive to the same number: Gartner indicates that Macs represents 8,8% of the market of computers, and IDC 9,4%. Anyway, is the largest participation of the market than Apple stops from 1994.
On the other hand, the iPhone, according to IDC, has 22% of the market smartphones in USA, behind just of BlackBerrys from Research In Motion, with 51%.
