标 题: 特大喜讯：苹果上季度创180亿美元利润的历史最好记录

单单iphones2014年最后一个季度就卖出去七千四百多万台，
Apple posts best quarter in corporate history
Apple made $18 billion profit and sold a jaw-dropping 74.4 million iPhones
in the last quarter.
Apple posted the biggest profit in corporate history last quarter after
selling a record number of iPhones.
Apple (AAPL, Tech30) sold 74.4 million iPhones in the last three months.
That helped Apple's profit soar more than 37% to $18 billion. That's larger
than Gazprom's $16.2 billion profit during the first quarter of 2011 -- the
previous profit record posted by a corporation.
Apple also posted a stunning $74.6 billion in sales, up nearly 30% from the
same period last year. That's not close to a global corporate record, but it
's the best quarterly revenue Apple ever posted.
"Interest in Apple products is at an all time high ... shattering our high
expectations," said CEO Tim Cook on a conference call with analysts. "This
volume is hard to comprehend."
Shares of Apple soared 5% in after hours trading.
Mac sales grew about 15% to a record 5.5 million. Apple said iTunes sales
also hit a record high, while iPad sales continued to slump, falling 18% to
21.4 million
But the story was the iPhone.
Cook noted that Apple sold an average of 30,000 iPhones every hour.
The iPhone is already the single best-selling gadget of all time. But this
past quarter, the iPhone outsold some gadgets made by entire industries.
The whole TV industry sold fewer than 60 million televisions last quarter,
according to IHS. The tablet industry sold just 54 million tablets, IDC
reported.
In fact, the iPhone very nearly outsold the entire PC industry. Computer
makers sold fewer than 84 million desktop and laptops last quarter,
according to Gartner. That's every HP (HPQ, Tech30), Lenovo, Mac, Dell --
everything.

Apple had never sold more than 51 million iPhones in a quarter, which it
accomplished a year ago. But that was before the deal with China's biggest
mobile provider, China Mobile (CHL), which went into effect in the first
quarter of 2014.
That deal benefited Apple in a big way last quarter. Apple's China sales
soared 70% last quarter. For the first time, Apple sold more iPhones in
China than in the United States.
Making such gigantic inroads in China was once believed impossible. Apple's
brand did not hold the same cache as some Chinese smartphone makers,
including Xiaomi, Lenovo and Huawei. And those brands heavily discount their
phones, making them far more accessible to the masses than Apple makes the
iPhone.
Apple also rolled out the new iPhone 6 to other countries last quarter
faster than it had in previous years, helping Apple boost its iPhone sales.
The iPhone 6 is available in 130 countries. Apple also said its supplier
efficiencies helped the company manufacture 7 million more iPhones than it
had expected to make last quarter.

But the iPhone's expected success isn't solely due to China, the global
market or supply chains.
The iPhone 6 has proven extremely popular with customers who were holding
out for a bigger Apple smartphone. The 4.7-inch screen competes much better
with some larger Android smartphones, and the superior camera has helped
some would-be defectors stick with the iPhone brand.
The new iPhone didn't just grow Apple's smartphone volume -- it also grew
revenue by convincing customers to spend more money on their devices. The
even giant-er, $100-more-expensive iPhone 6 Plus has also helped drive sales
, accounting for about a quarter of all iPhones sold last quarter, Nomura
Securites analyst Stuart Jeffrey believes (Apple doesn't break out iPhone 6
Plus sales separately).
Even better for Apple, Jeffrey expects that about half of all customers
spent an extra $100 on their iPhone 6 and 6 Plus devices to upgrade to 64
gigabytes of storage -- four times the amount of the standard 16 GB model.
Last fall, Apple doubled the storage size of its mid-tier iPhone. Previous
editions had just 32 GB of storage, so customers jumped at a good value.
All the good iPhone news is why Apple posted a record quarter: About two-
thirds of Apple's sales and earnings come from the iPhone.
But Apple has more potential billion-dollar products on the way. Tim Cook
announced Tuesday that the Apple Watch will go on sale in April. |
