As expected, Apple has reported remarkable quarterly earnings results for the fourth quarter of 2011 that ended in December, or the company’s first fiscal quarter of 2012. In fact, today Apple set a new record when it comes to profits and sales. Here are the most important numbers mentioned by the company during today’s earnings call:

• $46.33 billion revenue, up from $26.74 billion in the year-ago quarter
• $13.06 billion net profit or $13.87 per diluted share, up from $6 billion or $6.43 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter
• $97.6 billion in cash and marketable securities in total, up 16 billion from previous quarter, with $64 billion of cash offshore
• 37.04 million iPhone sales – 128% growth over the year-ago quarter
• 15.43 million iPad sales – 111% growth over the year ago quarter
• 5.2 million Macs – 26% growth over the year ago quarter
• 15.4 million iPods – 21% decline from the year ago quarter
• 315 million cumulative iOS devices sales, 62 million during the December quarter
• $1.7 billion revenue from the iTunes Music store
• 20 million songs available from iTunes
• 140 million music downloads on December 25
• 1.5 million iPads used in educational institutions
• 85 million iCloud customers
• 550,000 iOS apps in the App Store, 170,000 iPad apps
• $4 billion paid to developers, $700 million in the December quarter
• 358 stores open – average $17.1 million in revenue per store, 110 million store traffic, 22,000 visitors per store each week

Apple had a remarkable quarter, driven mainly by iOS device sales. Out of those, what’s really impressive is the total number of  iPhone sold since October. Earlier reports said that Apple would report anywhere from 30 to 35 million iPhone sales, especially considering that Verizon alone sold over 4 million iPhones in the December quarter. With over 37 million iPhone sales, that means Apple activated over 400,000 iPhones each day during the quarter. Add to the iPhone numbers the iPad and iPod touch numbers – since, after all, they are iOS devices – we end up with a total number of activations of over 670,000 iOS devices per day during the quarter. Comparatively, Google is activating 700,000 Android phones per day according to its most recent report, which means Apple is doing quite well, overall, in the mobile business.

Apple’s main rivals, Google, Microsoft, Samsung or Amazon probably hate to see those numbers, but the fact remains Apple’s selling performance can hardly be reached.
