Apple have posted its best third quarter results ever, which is nice. For them. Revenues were up 37.9% year on year to $7.46bn, while net profit was up 30.8% to $1.07bn. Needless to say, iPod and iPhone sales continued to contribute to the computer firm's success. 11,011,000 iPods were sold during the quarter, while 717,000 iPhones were shifted.
Apple boss Steve Jobs said this: "We're proud to report the best June quarter for both revenue and earnings in Apple's history. We set a new record for Mac sales, we think we have a real winner with our new iPhone 3G, and we're busy finishing several more wonderful new products to launch in the coming months".
Despite all the good news, some city types are a little cautious about Apple at the moment. Not because of Sky and Universal's plans to take on iTunes, but because of rumours regarding Jobs' health. Some are gossiping that he has health problems (may be linked to the cancer he overcame four years ago) and city types - who see Jobs' leadership and PR skills as crucial to Apple's continued success - are concerned that could impact on the company's performance. Jobs, though, insists he is just fine.
