Apple‘s blowout first quarter was notable for many reasons, not least of which was the company’s record revenues of $46.3 billion.
But the quarter was remarkable for several other reasons as well. Apple, which is known for keeping its affairs close to the vest, released a raft of information on Tuesday. Here are some of the highlights:
- Apple sold 37 million iPhones in the quarter, a 128% jump over the comparable quarter in 2010.
- iPad sales hit 15.4 million, a rise of 111%.
- Mac sales were 5.2 million, an increase of 26%.
- Apple sold 15.4 million iPods, a number which is down 21% as the iPhone cannibalizes sales of more limited-function devices.
- Apple now has $97.6 billion in cash on hand.
- Revenues from iTunes hit $1.7 billion. More than 140 million apps and pieces of content were downloaded on Dec. 25.
- There are 1.5 million iPads being used by educational institutions.
- iCloud has 85 million users. There are now 550,000 apps available. Developers of such apps have earned more than $4 billion, $700 million in Q1.
- Apple Stores produced $6.1 billion in revenues for the quarter. The average revenue per store was $17.1 million vs. $12 million last year. There are about 22,000 visitors per store per week.
- Apple’s revenues for the quarter were higher than the company’s revenues for its entire fiscal 2009.
