According to an online report by Computerworld, Apple’s sales of iPhone and iPad has skyrocketed in Q2/2011 fetching a record number of sales and revenues amounting to $28.6 billion.
Analyst at Ticonderoga Securities, Brian White, describe the figures with the word, ‘WoW.’
He added in a not to clients that this was a ‘blowout performance’ by Apple.
This is the fourth time in a row that Apple’s revenues has reeled in more than $20 billion. In addition, the Q2 revenue is a whopping 82% gain over the year-ago figures. The California-based computing firm had made a conservative estimate of $23 billion previous to the Q2 figures; the actual figures were 24% higher. Similarly, Apple surpassed Wall Street’s expectations of $25 billion.
In terms of profits, Apple reported figures of $7.31 billion, a figure that is 125% higher than year ago figures.
Analysts at Gleacher & Co., Brian Marshall, said in a comment that Apple had ‘knocked the ball out of the park,’ adding that, ‘they crushed it.’ The comments echo Apple’s massive success in the mobile device and tablet playing field. Since the launch of the iPhone, a first of its kind touch mobile device, at San Francisco’s Mac World, Steve Jobs has been outing a new device every year. And all of them have done well, taking the helm of the touch phone technology.
Clearly the record numbers point to the strong sales of the iPad, say analysts. The success of iPad sales is shared by ipad application developers, who make a percentage of app sales on the device. For more information on web development services visit Qarea.com.
