Još jedan rekordan kvartal za Apple

Kako ne shvaćaš da si iritantan isto kao i ovi fanboyi?

A nas podsjeca na tebe pogotovo kada pocne nabrajati spektakularne mogucnosti iphona :))

Kada sam ja to rekao da nestasica iphona u T-com ducanima ima veze s apple marketingom? Sreca, ti sam dovoljno gluposti izvalis pa ja nemoram izmisljati izjave i stavljati ih tebi u usta :))

Uostalom nisam bas primjetio neku nestasicu posto ih u oglasnicima ima na tone :)) i cijena je svakim danom sve povoljnija :))

Više manje je sve očekivano, projekcije za sljedeći kvartal su oko 23 milijarde, dakle 27-28 bi moglo biti izvjesno. :)

o profit margin-u

Q: How much decline in margins were related to the iPhone and the bumper program?

Peter: Just over $100m for the bumper program, and we'll ship more next quarter.

Q: Is the iPhone the product segment that dropped the biggest margin, then?

Peter: The drop in margins was not a surprise to us, and it had a different gross margin, and we sold more iPads where we very aggressive in its pricing, plus we had the bumper program and some other things. But we ended up doing better than expected.

o brojkama vezano za android / iOS

Q: Steve, should Apple be able to outship Android if you add up mobile devices over time? What's your biggest risk?

Steve: Our goal is to make the best devices in the world, not to be the biggest -- as you know Nokia is the biggest, and we admire them for shipping as many devices as they do. But we don't want to be like them -- we want to be like us, and make the best devices.

One of these days we'll eventually learn the Android numbers, and I imagine we'll compete with them for a very long time. But we have very different approaches -- ours is to make devices that just work.

o nadolazećim tabletima

Q: Can I better understand your aspirations for iPhone and iPad. You've said you don't aspire to high Mac marketshare, and it was the opposite for iPod. Is the iPhone more like the iPod, but Steve, you said you don't want to be Nokia, you just want to make good phones. How should we think about it?

Steve: First of all, Nokia makes $50 handsets, and we're not smart enough to figure that out yet -- I'll let you know when we do. Our goal is to make the best products in every industry we compete in while driving costs down. That's what we did with iPod -- it was relentless improvement and lower prices that was able to beat our competition. As you know we have a very low share in the phone market -- single digits if you count all the handsets, and a high share in tablets because we were the first movers. But that's not how we think about it. The reason we don't make a seven-inch tablet isn't cost, but because seven inches isn't big enough for the software people want to put on them.

As a software company, we know software developers won't be able to deal well with all these different screen sizes. We're all about making the best products with the best pricing. That's what we've done with the iPod, and that's what we'll do with the iPad as well.

o nadolazećoj konkurenciji tableta sa ekranima manjima od 10"

"It's meaningless unless your tablet also includes sandpaper, so that the user can sand down their fingers to around one quarter of their present size,"

"Apple has done extensive user testing and we really understand this stuff, "There are clear limits on how close you can place things on a touchscreen, which is why we think 10 inches is the minimum screen size to create great tablet apps."

O "pritiscima" telekoma i subvencijama

Q: Any pressure on subsidy as you look to expand distribution on phones?

Tim: The pressure is on supply. Everyone we do business with wants more supply. That's the pressure I feel.

Steve je "zločest" prema konkurenciji kao i obično, al to je jako dobro za PR i za biznis i ukpala se u trenutni brand image. Vidim da je i RIM odgovorio i da su se našli uvrijeđeni usporedbom ljetnog sa jesneskim "semestrom" :D

Surta oko 8 navečer ćemo imati neke nove vijesti sa predstavljanja novih Macova i OSXa 

Ili je ovaj decko koji prati Apple (uvijek isti autor) najvrijedniji u redakciji :)
