Big Sky in the Big Apple

Apple has released impressive Q2 profit numbers which have obviously been driven by a great number of iPhones and iPods sales. Apple’s numbers managed beat Wall Street’s expectations despite the current world wide economic uncertainty.

The tech giant mentioned Wednesday that a continued and growing demand for its portable devices kept sales numbers from falling substantially during the generally slow period after the Xmas shopping season. The company’s quarterly income rose to $8.16 bln, an impressive climb from the $7.51 bln it earned in Q2 of last year.

Apple sold only 2.22 million Macs in Q2, however managed to sell a whopping number of iPhones at 3.79 million. That’s up from 1.7 million a year ago, which is no doubt in large part due to the iPhone’s growing popularity globally.
