It's no secret that Apple have built up a very successful business since the return of Steve Jobs. It is of course that infamous portable media player the iPod that has driven much of this profit, yet the computers that Apple ships are claiming a large slice of the pie as well. The word is that the company's profits are up 36% for this quarter just gone, which in real money terms means a net profit of $1.05 billon. Apple managed to ship an impresive 2,289,000 Mac computers during this time, a considerable increase on the same quarter last year. iPods also continued to sell in volume, with 10,644,000 finding their way into consumers arms and you can add 1.7 million iPhones to that tally as well. Steve Jobs is no doubt happy about the earnings and who knows, maybe he can now afford a new outfit?
