Apple Q4 results have arrived and once again it’s a very good one for Apple! Quarter 4 ended today and Apple received some great results. Apple posted a revenue of $9.87 Billion and a quarterly profit of $1.67 billion, pushing each Apple share up to $1.82, which analysts did not expect. This quarter, Apple sold 3.05 million Macs, 17 percent higher than what they sold last year and 7.4 million iPhones, up 7 percent from last year.

According to CEO Steve Jobs, this is a record sales number for Apple. Every year, Apple’s record number of sales seem to be growing, pushing further each year. In Quarter 3, Apple sold 5.2 million iPhones which was a 626% jump from the previous year. This quarter shows a record amount of growth, which can only mean that Apple is looking ahead to great sales figures in the near future.

Although iPhone and Mac sales have skyrocketed, the iPods seem to have a very bleak future, dropping in terms of sales from 10.2 million last quarter to a 8% plummet, and still declining. At the beginning of Quarter 1 in 2010, Apple analysts are looking forward to a revenue range between $11.3 billion and $11.6 billion with the likelihood of shares increasing to $1.78 per share and hopefully, increased sales of iPods. Quarter 1 of 2010 is expected to be very big one for Apple, with the inclusion of the holiday season and immediate “subscription” devices (getting the money right away, rather than over a period of time), the iPhone and Apple TV.

Apple is doing great so far, and they seem to be getting better each quarter, but can they continue this growth with the declining sales of the iPod, which has been one of the main reasons for Apple’s popularity and growth?
