Apple just posted its first quarter results, and as expected, it was a big one. Led once again by record sales of new iPhones and holiday sales of iPads and Macs, Apple posted earnings of $18 billion on $74.6 billion in revenue, far above what it forecasted back in October, and marking the highest quarterly profit in its history.
By product, Apple sold 74.5 million iPhones, 21.4 million iPads, and 5.52 million Macs. Those numbers were up big from the number of iPhones and Macs Apple sold during the same time last year, but down big for the iPad.

Please please remember the Chinese slaves that make them all that money.  This is not politics, it's simple economics.

Please remember its slave workers and exploited people as well as people killed by your military all over the world that allow you to sit in front of a computer and surf the web in a heated house with a guitar hanging on the wall.. Geez, why is everybody about apple these days, they are actually the least bad in these regards because they can afford making things at least a bit better. And still people want to pay less for all their shit..

Even though the factories and workers Apple employ are some of the best in the world. The Foxcon sweatshop narrative is a myth http://sinostand.com/2012/10/24/trouble ... andwagon/

Wow guys, very disappointing. Let's keep all of the political garbage out of the forum :frown:

It's a good thing I didn't see the video you posted Normen because I did see Tre's post and I think I'll just go ahead and ban him now instead of giving him a third chance, for the rhetoric he used.

Please, just don't even get involved.
