Apple releases 1Q results for 2006

Spoiler alert: It's going well.

Apple recorded its highest earnings in the company's history during the fiscal quarter that ended on December 31, 2005. Apple claimed $5.75 billion in revenue and a net quarterly profit of $565 million during the 14-week quarter. They sold 1,254,000 Macs and 14,043,000 iPods, representing a 20% growth in Mac sales and 207% growth in iPod sales from a year ago.

In other news, I found six bucks in my jacket pocket today and was really excited about it. Me and Apple: Same planet, different worlds.

It's not really surprising considering how many iPods Apple sold, but their entire music business has more revenue than their computers and software now.

"Me and Apple: Same planet, different worlds." I put that as a quote in a forum signature.

These results just come in handy for my Marketing classes. I think to the end of the semester all of my mates will have bought a Mac. :)

Maybe some of that profit will go towards repairing bad PR from the Powerbook lower RAM slot problem that Apple still remains mum on? It wouldn't even put a dent in that pile o' loot!

About 52-53 minutes into the call some dufus says a G5 Powerbook is eagerly awaited and wants to know if it will be this quarter or even this year. Or if it's even possible. He clearly had no idea about the switch to Intel.
It's worth listening to. It's scary that these are the people who influence the stock price with their evaluations of the news and numbers.
His name was Rob something with something global partners. I think his name is in the transcript from the last conference call.
