Apple sold 2.22 million Macs in the second quarter, 11.01 million iPods and 3.79 million iPhones, which was more than double the number it sold a year ago, and at the same time the company had revenues of US$8.16 billion with net profit of US$1.21 billion.
Mac numbers sold during that period beat estimates, but it is worth noting that sales were down year over year for the first time in about six years, as Silicon Alley Insider noted the other day.
Apple said that two of the main reasons for this is that professional users are buying less of Apple’s “Pro” line during the tough economic times, and besides, particularly in the US, the educational buying market is way down right now.
But on the iPhone side, everything is just peachy as there are now over 35,000 apps in the App Store, and it will surpass one billion downloads tomorrow.
As noted above, iPhone sales were up 123% year over year, and the iPhone is now available in 81 countries. Apple has now sold some 21 million iPhones, and the App Store has reached 37 million devices when you throw in the iPod touch sales.
