Apple announced its Q3 2010 results…and it was ridiculous. The company posted all sorts of record sales, but also hinted that there were still new products to come in 2010. Before we play the guessing game, let’s take a look at the numbers via Wired:
- 3.47 million Macs (A record)
- 8.4 million iPhones (1.7 million were iPhone 4’s, which went on sale only six days before the quarter ended)
- 9.41 million iPods (The Touch model was up 48 percent year-over-year,)
- 3.27 million iPads (Went on sale three days into the quarter)
Simply ridiculous. Here’s the curious part: during the earnings call CEO Steve Jobs said, “We have amazing new products still to come this year.” What do you think he was talking about? An iPod refresh is expected in early autumn, but do you think anything else “big” is on the way? A MacBook Air refresh perhaps? Maybe the iPhone 4 going to another carrier? You think an entirely new product is on the way? Let’s speculate!
maybe an iPad and apple tv refresh. I'm pretty sure they are working on getting cameras in those iPads by now. I'm crossing my fingers for bsu and my gf. I know they would love ipod touch's with cameras!
I don't think anything new except a cloud service. A few things will see facelifts.
@tokz_21 I totally forgot about Apple TV. I fully expect a new version before the end of the year.
@smartguy Cloud iTunes is a great guess too!
@rpad
how could you forget that! you keep mentioning it at every apple press conference they announce.
@tokz_21 I will use the "I was really tired" excuse. Ha! I totally crashed out last night. I've been trying to wake up around 6AM to work on the site before heading to super secret project. Today I just needed the extra few hours of sleep.
@rpad
no worries. i just felt like ribbing you on the last one.
I remember reading an article on here about new iPod touches with cameras.
I could see them announcing potential new iPhone carriers. I think a cloud service is most realistic though.
I'd also like to add that I was an iMac and IPhone 4 purchase in 3rd quarter lol
I'd love to see a new Apple TV. rumors that it will run Apps are enticing. I'd love to play Pandora right on the TV.
The iRack, maybe?
(Google it if you don't get it or do not watch Mad TV)
