Apple Announces First Financial Statements of 2015

Want to know the financial statements of one of the most talked about companies in the world, Apple? Well, Apple just announced its earnings gains in the quarter ending December last year.

From the Q1 2015 financial report released last night, Apple managed to make a quarterly profit of $74.6 billion dollars with a net profit of $18 billion. They sold 74.5 million iPhones, 21.4 million iPads and 5.5 million Macs during the quarter ended last December.

The following is a comparison with the same quarter (quarter 1) in 2014 ago:

• iPhone : 74.5 million vs 51 million in 2014
• iPad : 21.4 million vs 26 million in 2014
• Mac : 5.5 million vs 4.8 million in 2014
• Profit : $74.6 billion vs. $57.6 billion in 2014

Apple's own profits grew by 30% from last year's achievement. In fact, the $74.6 billion figure alone exceeds Wall Street estimates. This figure also exceeds the opinion poll of several analysts conducted by Fortune. They predict Apple will sell an average of 67 million iPhones, 21 million iPads and 5.5 million Macs and make a profit of $68.7 billion.

Starting this quarter, Apple created a new category, "Other" in its financial statements where this category will later record combined sales of Apple products other than iPhone, iPad and Mac.

That means iPods, Apple TVs, products from Beats, other accessories and their latest product lines, Apple Watch will fall into this category. This step will certainly make it a little difficult for analysts to estimate how many Apple Watch sales will be and the profits Apple will make.

Another interesting note that comes from Apple's first financial report in 2015 is that Apple managed to make 25 million Apple TVs. As we know, Apple TV is a multimedia device made by Apple which is a little less popular.

In addition, Tim Cook also stated that the iPhone 6 is the most popular iPhone model of the line smartphone they. In the same quarter, Apple had customers highest for the first time using an iPhone. This may be motivated by the presence of two variants of the iPhone 6 which has a larger screen so that many Android users are switching to the iPhone.

The rate of consumer switching to the iPhone is even claimed by Tim Cook as the highest number in the last 3 years.
