Apple Reports Fourth Quarter Results →

Most profitable quarter ever; record Mac and iPhone sales:

The Company posted revenue of $9.87 billion and a net quarterly profit of $1.67 billion, or $1.82 per diluted share. These results compare to revenue of $7.9 billion and net quarterly profit of $1.14 billion, or $1.26 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 36.6 percent, up from 34.7 percent in the year-ago quarter.[…]

Apple sold 3.05 million Macintosh computers during the quarter, representing a 17 percent unit increase over the year-ago quarter. The Company sold 10.2 million iPods during the quarter, representing an eight percent unit decline from the year-ago quarter. Apple sold 7.4 million iPhones in the quarter, representing seven percent unit growth over the year-ago quarter.

What? I thought everyone was waiting for Windows 7 and “The Droid”!

Steve leaves a hint someone might want to dig into:

We’ve got a very strong lineup for the holiday season and some really great new products in the pipeline for 2010.

Does that mean no new products in 2009 and iTablet in 2010?

“Does that mean no new products in 2009 and iTablet in 2010?”

He could be referring to fiscal year 2010, though historically, there hasn’t been new products between now and end of the year has there?
