Interesting earnings report from Apple today. One of the interesting points was that of the 1.4 million iphones sold to date, apple estimates 250,000 of them were sold with the intention of being unlocked. I’ve seen quite a few cellphone shops around Europe selling unlocked iphones, mostly for around 950 EUR ($1350 USD, £660 GBP), so in addition to the many people in the US unlocking their iphones, quite a few of these probably ended up in the hands of consumers outside the US. And for less than the price of an unlocked iphone in Europe I could fly to NY and pick one up myself.

They sold 2.16 million macs, 10.2 million ipods, and 1.11 million iphones in the quarter that ended Sep 29th. Revenues for the quarter were $6.22 billion with a net quarterly profit of $904 million, and for Apple’s fiscal year 2007 revenues were $24 billion, with a net income of $3.5 billion. Not bad.
