Apple’s Numbers Look Great

posted in news, by Codrut Nistor

Since in the last few weeks we didn't hear much about Apple's numbers, today the time has come for a new quick peak into their court, especially since a lot of statistics became available these days - iPhone SDK downloads, iTunes profits, and more...

First of all, the iPhone Software Development Kit has been downloaded over 100,000 times, according to Apple, and this is only the statistic for the first 4 days since its launch!

Next, reports about iTunes are also very interesting. Disney's CEO, Robert Iger, announced at the Digital Hollywood Media Summit that iTunes was behind 4 million Disney movies sales, as well as 40-50 million of their videos. Of the above, 1.3 million movies were sold by February 2007, in the first 3 months of operation of the iTunes movie store.

Remaining in the same area, iTunes' profits for 2007 are somewhere around the $570 million mark, according to Billboard's calculations, while Disney's profits for the sales mentioned in the previous paragraph are estimated to be almost $123 million.

These being said, I am sure Apple's 2008 will be another strong year for the Cupertino-based company, from all points of view, no matter who tries to hit them with various copyright infringement suits or other things like that...
