Apple has already revealed the total number of iPhones, iPods, iPads and Macs that the company sold by the end of the fourth quarter in 2014, but during the conference call revealed more specifics about the record-breaking quarter.
Apple revealed during their conference call immediately following the official results for their Q4 2014 that the Mac lineup has sold a total of 5.5 million within the fourth quarter of 2014. The results prompted Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, to call them “stunning,” and that the “Back to school season voted, and Mac won.” The 5.5 million Macs in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2014 marks the highest number of Macs sold in a quarter by Apple to date.
It is also up more than 1 million year-over-year, and the total means a 21% growth from the same quarter in 2013. The total sales equals $6.6 billion. As a final note, Apple revealed that the company had sold 19 million Macs throughout the total quarter of 2014, and that sales were particularly strong for the MacBook Pro lineup, as well as the MacBook Air.
Earlier on Monday, October 20, Apple revealed that the company had earned a revenue of $42.1 billion for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2014, and that iTunes had netted $4.6 billion in sales within the same time frame. Apple also revealed that they had opened more than 400 new Apple Stores around the globe, had made 20 new acquisitions throughout their year, and that there are big plans in the works for Beats.
On October 16, Apple launched their 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display, with a starting price tag of $2,499.99.
