Apple hit another home run in the third quarter of 2011. Total revenue for the quarter reached US$28.57 billion, as compared to $15.70 billion in the same quarter last year. Earnings per diluted share were $7.79, as compared to $3.51 last year. Net profit reached a staggering $7.31 B. All of these figures crushed the professional analyst estimates and even surpassed some of the more optimistic amateur AAPL watchers, as tracked by Phil Elmer-Dewitt.
Sales numbers for Apple's lineup of products are as follows:
3.95 M Macs (14% year-over-year unit increase)
20.34 M iPhones (142% yoy increase)
7.54 M iPods
