Posted by admin in Apple’s latest invention- iPhone has been exceedingly successful as Q2 reports suggest. Apple sold about 5.2 million units of iPhone in second quarter of this year. Last year, Apple had succeeded in selling about 10.2 million units. In Q2 of last year, Apple sold 717,000 units of iPhone. Q2 sales have seen a gigantic increase of 626% from last year. Last year, iPhone contributed USD 1.23 billion to Apple’s profit.
Market experts believe that huge increment in sales is due to release of new iPhone 3GS which is advanced version of original iPhone. Apple recently slashed rates of second-generation SKU to $99, which is probably one of the reasons for sales increment.
Other music-related Apple product have taken a hit this year after the release of iPhone 3GS. You will notice that Apple iPod’s sales dropped by 7% if you compare last year’s stats. Apple seem pretty relaxed with it as overall profit for the company is rising whatever be the results of individual units.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs responded on the sales report that they are making most innovative products in the market and customers are responding well to them. Apple has always been the most innovative and ‘original’ company in computer-related consumer electronics market.
Sales boost for Apple was started with Mac sales touching new heights after release. But, overwhelmed Apple stated that they are not even able to manufacture iPhone 3GS units enough to meet public demand. The company is working on the issue and is likely to be solved soon.
