Apple posted record earnings report for the first quarter of 2012

Thus, it is time to summarize. At least, the results for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, and made with great pomp Corporation Apple, reporting record earnings of over $ 46 billion.

As can be seen from the resulting numbers kupertinskaya team feels fine and is ready to conquer new heights: The company set a record, "generating a" in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 46.33 billion, of which 13.06 billion - net profit. In this last number is a whole half year profit of the company (if we talk about the profit for last year). Speaking of last year - for the same period of 2011 Apple was only 26.74 billion revenue ($ 6 billion and profit, respectively), which is less than half this year.

In other words, the giant apple surpassed in this respect, all the analysts' expectations (and perhaps even their own). Apple now confidently back on a solid leadership position, sending its main rival - the company Samsung - back to second place (Samsung, by the way, in the first quarter and has sold an impressive number of smart phones - 35 million, to be precise).


Thus, half (24.4 billion) of total revenue Apple received from sales of this phone, the iPhone and accessories. Indeed, Apple argues that the second quarter would be too "hot", not as much as the first, but still better than last year due to "some new devices" in the lines of the company's products ...
