    The great news continues to roll in...

    Apple is now more valuable than Hewlett Packard!

    The iPhones did way better than expected, a bit over 1,500 sold every
    minute in the 3rd Quarter. 270,000 sold in just 30 hours! That's 14
    times faster than ATT has ever sold any cell phone.

    iPhones go in to Europe (England, Germany, France) next quarter... Asia
    in 08...

    Apple Stock is up 11.50 points as of this post!

    All the facts are here:

    Apple Reports Third Quarter Results

    Record June Quarter Revenue and Profit

    Mac Sales Set New Record

    CUPERTINO, California‹July 25, 2007‹Apple today announced financial
    results for its fiscal 2007 third quarter ended June 30, 2007. The
    Company posted revenue of $5.41 billion and net quarterly profit of $818
    million, or $.92 per diluted share. These results compare to revenue of
    $4.37 billion and net quarterly profit of $472 million, or $.54 per
    diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 36.9 percent,
    up from 30.3 percent in the year-ago quarter. International sales
    accounted for 40 percent of the quarter¹s revenue.

    Apple shipped 1,764,000 Macintosh® computers, representing 33 percent
    growth over the year-ago quarter and exceeding the previous company
    record for quarterly Mac® shipments by over 150,000. The Company also
    sold 9,815,000 iPods during the quarter, representing 21 percent growth
    over the year-ago quarter.

    ³We¹re thrilled to report the highest June quarter revenue and profit in
    Apple¹s history, along with the highest quarterly Mac sales ever,² said
    Steve Jobs, Apple¹s CEO. ³iPhone is off to a great start‹we hope to sell
    our one-millionth iPhone by the end of its first full quarter of
    sales‹and our new product pipeline is very strong.²

    ³We are very pleased to report strong financial results including cash
    flow from operations exceeding $1.2 billion for the quarter,² said Peter
    Oppenheimer, Apple¹s CFO. ³Looking ahead to the fourth fiscal quarter of
    2007, we expect revenue of about $5.7 billion and earnings per diluted
    share of about $.65.²

    Apple will provide live streaming of its Q3 2007 financial results
    conference call utilizing QuickTime®, Apple¹s standards-based technology
    for live and on-demand audio and video streaming. The live webcast will
    begin at 2:00 p.m. PDT on Wednesday, July 25, 2007 at

    So, no mention of the iPhone in the first five paragraphs. That certainly
    speakes to its contribution to the quarter.

    do the math scott. 270,000 times $200 profit per unit, $54,000,000 out
    of $818,000,000 and so while not "tiny", it's only 15% of Apple's Q3
    profits.

    The big gains with the Mac was the biggest news, then continued strong
    iPod sales (even though they haven't been updated in about a year

    Apple will hit 180 easy by christmas. Save your pennies Scott!

    "CUPERTINO, California..."

    That's Paragaph 1



    "Apple shipped 1,764,000 Macintosh® computers, representing..."

    That's Paragraph 2



    "We¹re thrilled to report the highest June quarter revenue and profit
    in
    Apple¹s history, along with the highest quarterly Mac sales ever,²
    said
    Steve Jobs, Apple¹s CEO. ³iPhone is off to a great start..."

    Paragaph 3, third line: "iPhone is off to a great start..."


    An honest mistake, right?


    FYI, Paragraph 4 says that they expect to increase their gross revenue
    by $300M for next quarter. YMMV to what degree that speakes to
    contributions of what.

    To be fair, the iPhone was available for only two out of the quarter's 91
    days. If it had been the quarter's biggest news they'd have had a crappy
    quarter!

    and to be perfectly clear. it was really only 1.5 days.

    they didn't start selling them until 6pm on Friday June 29th.

    then all day saturday.

    -

    then a new quarter began.

    (so technically... 6pm-12am the first night and 9 to 9 (roughly) on
    saturday. so 18 hours of sales. (except the 1 nyc 24hr store) (not sure
    about ATT hours) but no Apple Online iphone orders were activated during
    that time since they didn't start arriving until later that first week.

    so 18 hours to sell 270,000 units is way off the charts for any
    electronic device. ranks up there even with iPods during christmas.

    ----

    but to be fair, apple did screw up by releasing it 2 days before a full
    quarter ended. if they would have waited just one week, they would have
    hit the 3-4 million number for the 4th quarter and we wouldn't have seen
    the 8 point drop from the erroneous ATT info, then a 12 point jump after
    afters today.

    You aren't real smart, are you? And you obviously didn't read the
    financial report, either. If you're trying to look stupid, success has
    been acheived.

    http://money.cnn.com/2007/07/25/news....reut/index.ht
    m

    "The iPhone went on sale in the United States on June 29, but its impact on
    Apple's results was limited because it was available only in the last two
    days of the quarter and sales will be booked as subscription revenue over
    two years."

    The figures that I saw were in the order of $14 per phone booked for the
    second quarter, not $200.

    Huh?
    It's in the third paragraph, the very first place the CEO is quoted.

    The first paragraph is for the meat of the release, anyway -- can't put
    it there.
    The second gives changes in the major lines, and yes, Macs and iPods
    are most important.
    How could anyone expect iPhone to be mentioned above the two most
    critical lines of the company? Especially when it was sold for such a
    short time! It's only the part many people were interested to read;
    it's not the most important data they had to share.

    but not for sales. and many of the news outlets picked it up as "slow
    sales". when it was really "slow activation" because ATT couldn't handle
    that much demand.

    the funny news item from this morning, was a channel i was watching said:

    microsoft iphone off to a slow start ///// then some commercials, then
    they went back and said apple's iphone may not be as popular as first
    thought, then they quoted the erroneous ATT "activation" numbers, but
    implied they were "sales" numbers, so i had a laugh over that one!

    that's why i always use facts, it's easier that way.

    but you are confused. you are talking about the "subscription" kickback
    to apple from ATT for each iphone contract. ZERO of those funds were in
    the 3rd quarter numbers. (listen to the conference call)

    the $200 is the PROFIT of each iphone, which certainly does appear on
    the 3rd quarter numbers.

    you were trying to talk about something else, cnn didn't word it
    correctly so that's why you got confused.

    Yeah...

    Because it was expected to do so much for a quarter where it had been on
    sale for a grand total of 1.25 days out of 91.25...

    Both ATT and Apple said that only a small
    percentage of people were affected by activation
    issues.
