Especially with all of the games they can now add to BlackBerry World!
How many of those were new smartphone users and how many were iPhone upgrades or users switching from another smartphone - BlackBerry, Android or WP8? Two of my friends are about to upgrade their iPhone 4, just waiting on the new one (5S). The market isn't oversaturated, but it certainly seems to be getting saturated in 'the first world'. How many friends / colleagues / family under 50 do you know that doesn't have a smartphone?
No doubt, impressive numbers for Apple, though good for them. BlackBerry would love to have sales like that.
This argument becomes sillier by the day.
That's just silly talk. :-) Even the US is still growing ... over 30 million new smartphone owners in the last year. Just not 'hyper-growth'
And earnings were down 22% from same quarter last year. Earnings were $6.9B

Apple's products are generally pretty seasonal. This isn't really new. Year over year, iPhone sales are up ... which is good for them. iPod sales are quite down, but have been for a while as the iPhone eats into that business. Macs are down a little.
The big surprise for me is the iPad drop. I would have expected a revenue decline by virtue of the mini eating into the full iPad sales, but not a unit drop like that. Guess competition is finally heating up a bit in the tablet space.
It fell 7 dollars. (morning)
Blackberry produces garbage products sold at a fraction of Apple and still people are not buying them LOL
Have you seen what has happened to Microsoft, blackberry, htc, Dell, well the industry.
$6.9 BILLION in PROFIT, that's more thanDOUBLETRIPLE what blackberry has in the bank!!!!
There is no way you can spin that as negative.

You can spin anything into a negative. Like this:
"Well, they ONLY made $6.9 billion. Clearly Apple is broken as a company."
Sure, this really doesn't make any sense, but being non-sensical hasn't been a barrier before, so. . .
No, but they'll try. Oh how they'll try.
3 times since Blackberry has 1.9B in cash the 3.1B figure does not account for 1.2B account payable delayed by Blackberry to look better than it is
They seem to be down for everyone though.
tremendous numbers really yet again. they can still sell more iphone 4 and 4s probably than HTC, RIM and nokia combined.
Earned in one quarter.
Yep - India up 400%, Philippines up 140%, US up over 50% - the only 'up' we aren't see is for BBRY - in the US in particular, they are looking at complete lock-out.
Sold at a fraction of Apple? What are you talking about? The Z10 retails in the same range as a 4S ($600).
impressive numbers ...
BB have 2.7m BB10 devices shipped ... sold no one knows!
AiPhone sold 31.5m devices, iPAd 14m ... Thor, tablet market is dead!
Whit a new product cycle beginning this fall, iPhone 5S, Budget iPhone, iOS7, iPad, iPad Mini numbers will continue to grow. that's pretty damning.
Yay...... great......
Look what forum this is buddy.
Edit: I'll help you out a bit.

All this angst, when Godaddy is begging folks to buy domain names. And to think: thewayaxemanwantsit.com is still available.
Still under crackberry.

Yes let's go back to 2007 and do the same thing Research in Motion did...completely ignore Apple and/or not take them seriously.
Why bother? Why?
LOL.
