CUPERTINO, California—January 23, 2013—Apple® today announced financial results for its 13-week fiscal 2013 first quarter ended December 29, 2012. The Company posted record quarterly revenue of $54.5 billion and record quarterly net profit of $13.1 billion, or $13.81 per diluted share. These results compare to revenue of $46.3 billion and net profit of $13.1 billion, or $13.87 per diluted share, in the 14-week year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 38.6 percent compared to 44.7 percent in the year-ago quarter. International sales accounted for 61 percent of the quarter’s revenue.

Note that Fiscal Year 2013 First Quarter is a 13-week quarter compared to 14-week quarter of Fiscal Year 2012 First Quarter.

The Company sold a record 47.8 million iPhones in the quarter, compared to 37 million in the year-ago quarter. Apple also sold a record 22.9 million iPads during the quarter, compared to 15.4 million in the year-ago quarter. The Company sold 4.1 million Macs, compared to 5.2 million in the year-ago quarter. Apple sold 12.7 million iPods in the quarter, compared to 15.4 million in the year-ago quarter.

Apple was expected to sell less Macs because new iMacs were missing in action for the first 2 months of the quarter.In addition to that supplies of new iMacs were constrained. As of January 23, 2013 iMac ship times is at 2-3 weeks, indicating either increasing demand or supply constraints; or both. Sales of iPods follow the downward trend as sales of iPads increase.

Scribbles for Gmail, One Year Later.

The Gmail Team announced Scribbles for Gmail back on December 19th, 2011. It was available on Gmail for the mobile web browser and the Gmail app for iOS.

One year to the day, most if not almost all Gmail users are still unaware of Scribbles for Gmail. Curiously, this feature is still not available on Google’s own Android Operating System.
I certainly have been using Gmail for iOS thanks to Scribbles for Gmail.
