• $1.05 billion in profit, up from $770 million.
• Just under 2.3 million Macs sold — representing 51 percent unit growth and 54 percent revenue growth. This is incredible. I remember being pleased when over 750 000 Macs were sold in a quarter. Now it’s three times that. If Apple were selling 750K Macs and had 5% of the market….and the PC market has actually shrunk….but Apple’s shipments have grown…what percentage do they have now?
• 10.6 million iPods sold, up 1 percent (but 6 percent revenue-wise). How many of these are shuffles? How many are iPod touch? That’s the important breakdown!
• 1.7 million iPhones sold. That’s not bad for this quarter and they have three more quarters before the end of the year. Apple reckons they will hit 10 million iPhones by year end.

It’s all very interesting. Still no official news on the Apple Store for Belfast, however!
