Quarterly revenue and profit have been boosted by the exceptionally high sales of the Apple iPhone and Apple Mac, even in the face of reined in US consumer spending and the gloomy current economic situation.
Apple have nearly shifted seven million iPhone 3G’s this quarter surpassing the expected figure of ten million by the end of the year by six million Apple iPhone 3G units bringing the total to be sold so far since launch to thirteen million.
In comparison, Research In Motion has sold 6.1million of their BlackBerry units, but RIM isn’t going to step back and their latest BlackBerry is more than a match for the Apple iPhone.
The pressure is even further placed on Apple with the T-Mobile G1 Android phone now on sale, but will the G1 out shine the iPhone in sales? So, Apple beats RIM BlackBerry but can it beat T-Mobile Google?
