Apple could sell record-breaking 4.3 million Macs this holiday

Sometime in January Apple will hold their FY2011 Q1 earnings call and you will be sure to hear these words: "The quarter that just ended was the best quarter in Apple's history." It's something many of us have gotten used to hearing as Apple has said it (or a derivative of it, adding "non-holiday" between "best" and "quarter") every quarter for at least the last seven years.

That familiar catchphrase shows no sign of stopping as NPD says Apple is on track to sell between 4.1 million and 4.3 million Macs in the December quarter. As AllThingsD points out, Apple's U.S. Mac sales are up 20 percent year-over-year for the first two months of the current quarter. International sales are even growing faster than domestic sales with 22 to 28 percent year-over-year growth for the first two months of the current quarter.

Still haven't picked up Apple stock? There's still time as many think there's a 30ish-percent 12-month upswing coming.Apple could sell record-breaking 4.3 million Macs this holiday originally appeared on TUAW on Tue, 14 Dec 2010 15:30:00 EST.  Please see our terms for use of feeds.Source | Permalink | Email this | Comments
