Apple has reported that there are now another 7 million fan boys worldwide thanks to better than expected sales of the iPhone 3GS over the past 3 months. The news came in the Q4 2009 conference call where Apple shocked analysts and investors by reporting $9.87 billion in revenue and a quarterly profit of $1.67 billion. The better than expected revenue and profit resulted in earnings per share of $1.82, up from the $1.42 prediction. If you are wondering how this is possible in such harsh economic times you can thank the $99 iPhone 3G and some clever advertising to help steer more customers into Macs. The numbers speak for themselves, Apple sold 3.05 million Macs (17% increase from last year), 10.2 million iPods (eight percent decrease) and 7.4 million iPhones (seven percent increase).
