A single [...]

    Apple Sold Twice As Many iPhones As Macs Last Quarter. And It’s Closing The Gap On iPod Sales Too

    The quarterly numbers are in for Apple. And once again they're very good. It was another non-holiday record quarter in terms of revenues and earnings.

Now, it's important to note that the iPhone 3G wasn't released last year until July, while the new iPhone 3GS dropped in June this year. But still, the difference is huge. And it nearly was the record for iPhones sold in a quarter, which happened in Q4 last year, with almost 6.9 million iPhones sold thanks to the full brunt of the iPhone 3G sales.
