Apple last week announced it Q1 sales, showing a 3% increase in the sales of iPods. This relates to over 22 million iPods sold over the holiday quarter. But the most interesting information is the increase on iPhone sales on year-on-year figures. They show that Apple sold 4.363 million handsets over the period of Q1, and this works out at 88% increase in sales from last year.
The huge increase in iPhone sales might not come as too much of a surprise to many people. The cost of iPhone has fallen, with many networks making the handset availible to people on a prepay option and also very cheap when signing up to a contract.
“Even in these economically challenging times, we are incredibly pleased to report our best quarterly revenue and earnings in Apple history—surpassing $10 billion in quarterly revenue for the first time ever,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO.
