Apple has proved their resilience in the current economic climate, by announcing a record profit of £1.15 billion ($1.61bn) for the last quarter of 2008. The huge technology firm also made record revenue of around £7.8 billion ($10.7bn).
Apple sold over 4 million iPhones and more than 22 million iPods in the three months leading to December, but warned that revenue might suffer in the first quarter of 2009.
Apple’s co-founder Steve Jobs said: “Even in these economically challenging times, we are incredibly pleased to report our best quarterly revenue and earnings in Apple history – surpassing the $10bn in quarterly revenue for the first time ever”.
The firm saw a rise in sales of all its main products, with a 9% increase on Macintosh computers, 3% rise in iPod sales and an 88% increase in iPhone sales compared to Q4 of 2007.
