Cupertino, Calif. – Buoyed by the near-doubling of its
iPhone sales from a year ago, Apple (NASD: AAPL) on Monday reported record revenue and a 70%
jump in fiscal fourth-quarter earnings. The company announced net income of
$4.3 billion — up from $2.5 billion in the same quarter of 2009 — on revenue
of $20.3 billion — up from $12.2 billion.
"We are blown away to report
over $20 billion in revenue and over $4 billion in after-tax earnings-both
all-time records for Apple," said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO.
"iPhone
sales of 14.1 million were up 91 percent year-over-year, handily beating the
12.1 million phones RIM sold in their most recent quarter."
