Numbers from Apple’s Q4 earnings call: 15 acquisitions, 94% of tablets in education, 30 new stores in 2014

Apple just wrapped up its Q4 earnings call where CEO Tim Cook and CFO Peter Oppenheimer went over some of the numbers discussed in its fourth quarter report, including record iPhone sales up 26% from last year to 33.8m units. Apple’s growth may not be as pronounced as in past quarters, but it appears that with its new iPhones and software it has been able to maintain what looks like more sustainable growth going into the holidays and next year.

Tim Cook hinted new product categories could be on the horizon, but even without a completely new product Apple was able to beat expectations by just about every metric.

  1. That’s a cheeseburger smile if I ever saw one.

  2. How is that Mac number, compared to ZERO Mac Pro’s in the EU since march?
    Mac Pro’s were banned due to environmental certifications..!

    Why haven’t Apple conquered the Nordic countries? Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland have a huge wealth, but the only two(TWO!!!) stores are in Sweden. They could really earn a lot of money up here, both in retail but also on iTunes with Tv-Shows and Music in the cloud. #PullYourselfTogetherAPPLE

    We look forward to the day when Apple successfully penetrates the corporate/enterprise world and rack up those Mac sales figures. Perhaps Apple could develop an “enterprise Mac” with optimized keyboard/shortcut configurations for the accounting/finance folks.
