Star Apple Reports Yet Another Stellar Quarter
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 19th Oct 2009 21:43 UTC
Apple It's getting a little bit predictable, but Apple has reported yet another stellar set of quarterly financial results. The company has sold more Macs and iPhones than the same quarter last year, but sales of the iPod were down compared to the same quarter last year. Profits and gross-margins were also up.

Its well known from the pystar case, that Apple is *very* reluctant to disclose their profit margins. Most likely because they're huge, when compared with their peers. Also, saying " I just don't see" a gazillion times doesn't really detract from the very basic, generic economics truisms I was talking about. I don't know, you don't know, Apple doesn't know what would happen to their profits with a variation in price.


I'm actually going to go out on a limb here and suggest that Apple might have somebody on staff whose job is to figure out how to make more money. They might even have access to exotic marketing research tools like focus groups and graphs.
