Apple Q1 2013 results

Apple has presented its financial results for the fiscal first quarter of its fiscal year 2013 (late September to late December 2012). Since it is the holiday, it is traditionally the most important quarter of the year season. This year, Apple has updated substantially all of its range for this time and Analysts are expecting a record quarter, despite some pessimistic discourse surrounding chronic and availability. It should be noted that this first fiscal quarter is shorter than a week in the same quarter last year.  Apple achieved a turnover of $ 54.5 billion (18% more compared to Q1 2012) and announced a profit of $ 13.1 billion, or 13.81 dollars per share (0.3% more). The first quarter of fiscal 2013 is the best quarter in Apple's history, although slightly below analysts' estimates. So that we can more easily compare results with the previous years in spite of these quarters of different lengths, Apple describes the average turnover per week. It stood at $ 4.2 billion this year against $ 3.3 billion last year.  The War spoils the Apple’s reach of $ 137 billion - almost a third of its market capitalization which will certainly suffered much in recent months. The margin for the last two years is under 40% (38.6%), probably as a result of operational costs. The international sales accounted for 61% of Apple's revenue, a figure in line with the average for the last year. It should be noted in this regard that Apple now publishes detailed results for China, so far as it included a large Asia-Pacific region. Finally, all shareholders at 11 February 2013 will receive a dividend of $ 2.65 per share on February 14.

Mac sales:

Apple sold 4,061,000 Mac. The combined effect of the macro-economic context, which affects the entire sector and promotes cheaper devices like the iPad, the late start of the iMac and supply difficulties seems he was right expectations analysts who estimated it over 5.2 million units. Apple has unfortunately decided not to disclose the sales figures of Mac laptops and desktop Macs, preventing any further analysis.

IPhone sales:

47.789 million iPhone were sold during the holidays. This is more than 35% of previous. Even though it is a record, but it is still below Wall Street expectations - it should be noted that the quarter began during the second week of marketing the iPhone 5. Also keep in mind that for most of the quarter, demand was limited by the supply side, the iPhone 5 has been a major problem in quality control during the first week of manufacture. The average rate of iPhone nevertheless maintains a high above $ 600.

IPad & IPod sales:

The iPad has sold no less than 22,860,000. Growth of turnover is quite low and the iPad mini encountered a great success. Finally, the iPod bounces like every year at Christmas, but 12.679 million units sold are below the levels of the past.




For the second quarter, Apple's objective is to achieve a turnover of between 41 and 43 billion, well below the 45.48 billion expected by analysts. These results are record results, but at the same time lower than market expectations - not to mention the specific case of the Mac.

These are so called in cell touch screens, in which the display surface is used in combination with the touch sensors in a plane.

According to the China Times, they have introduced a new touch screen technology called “touch on display “which is the latest novel technology with thinner displays with more precise.


Apple seems to have two main objectives in the use of technology. Firstly, displays his 0.5 millimeters thick with this technology, on the other hand is designed to operate on fast finger movements much more precisely than with the previous technology.

The manufacturer behind the new touch screen is Innolux who have already made the display for the iPad 2.


Apple will bring out this new iPhone 5s this year in any case. What name will carry it is not yet known. The current favorite in the gossip scene is iPhone 5s.

Rumors about Apple's bestsellers are circulated in 2013 but continue to work tirelessly. With the end of last year, Apple has completed the global launch of the iPhone 5. Now the first details of iPhone-6-prototype appeared in a developer forum. Given the fact that Apple introduces a new iPhone every year, it should not surprise that the company is already working on a new course Smartphone.

Nevertheless, the network is electrified, whether the news that the developer of the mobile operating system iOS have discovered the first evidence of a new iPhone. IT blog The Next Web reported known as log files, data statements within the system, the list an "iPhone 6.1" that would log on. The current iPhone 5 listed in the log files as iPhone 5.1 and 5.2.Apple's iOS mobile operating system seems to be in a new version in the testing phase. The logs would give an iOS 7 on a software basis. Only in the fall of 2012 Apple has released a major update to iOS 6. One need not be oracle to predict that Apple will not again this year be idle. The more obvious candidates, in addition to a new iPhone, updates to other mobile devices like the iPad and its smaller brother the iPad Mini. Especially the latter is likely to get more power and the coveted retina display.

Apple's music player series "iPod" could, however, take a break in 2013. With the new iPod Touch and the latest iPod nano, Apple has refreshed its two strongest representatives recently. Another update in the now-dominated Smartphone market of portable music player is not expected.

Is the Apple TV soon be available?

The rumors and growing evidence assures that Apple TV could soon be in stores and they will revolutionize the market soon. The late Steve Jobs mentioned a TV that could be produced by Apple - with a completely new operating concept. The current Apple CEO Tim Cook in his first TV interview also touched the issue and called the idea "very interesting".

Now there is finally a concrete Note: Thus the "Wall Street Journal" reported today that the U.S. group known several drafts of an Apple TV with Asian suppliers. The newspaper claims to have learned the details from well-informed people, it should be specifically at supplier companies’ act to Foxconn and Sharp. However, the informants should have limited that it is not an official project yet handle Apple and the TV is located in an early testing phase. A possible start date not mentioned.

Back in November, analyst Gene Munster had conjectured by the financial firm Piper Jaffray, an Apple TV could come to the market in 2013 end. Given the now leaked information such earlier date is not very likely. Other evidences suggest that Apple is preparing for an upcoming TV.

So shall the Internet Box "Apple TV" according to media reports soon get a software update, which allows the connection of wireless keyboards and other Bluetooth devices may be possible.


So far, the "Apple TV" is only the bringing together of the iPad, iPhone, Mac and TV. Additionally, iTunes can play media from the net. Maybe the software update is already a preparation for such a TV that takes advantage of the "Apple TV" and even better in the "Apple TV" is already integrated. Still, the group wrapped while in silence, but the report by the Wall Street Journal makes the doubts are getting smaller. Earlier, some experts have claimed to have seen the first prototypes of the "miracle" TV.

It was suggested to the Apple TV with a completely new gesture control the market a new impetus. Maybe we enable our TV so soon with a wave or shouts and it automatically switches to our favorite program?
