Mac Sales Continue to Outpace Industry Growth
Latest quarterly results from Apple are in. The highlights: $7.51 billion in sales and net profit of $1.05 billion. 2.2 million Macs, 10.6 million iPods and 1.7 million iPhones sold.
Mac sales continue to be the big story here, as unit sales were up 51 percent from the year-ago quarter. How does this compare to the overall PC industry? Gartner forecasted last month that the industry would see 10.9 precent growth this year, which means Apple is currently out-performing the competition by a factor of five.
