Apple Q3 2007 Financial Results on July 25, 2007
Please note that comments made during this call may include forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements. For more information on the factors that could influence results, please refer to Apples SEC filings.
The conference call begins at 2pm PT, 5pm ET.
Apple's 3rd financial quarter of 2007 began on April 1st and ended on June 30, 2007. While the iPhone was only on sale for 2 days during the quarter and those revenues will be spread over 24 months according to Apple's subscription based accounting system for iPhone and Apple TV, analysts believe strong Mac sales will lead to expectation-beating results (via AppleInsider's analyst coverage).

EDIT: huh, I guess that was an internal accounting shift from Apple. A subscription-based accounting scheme would imply something is in the pipeline for the AppleTV...
how the heck is the AppleTV spread over 24 months too? There is no contract, it's a completely separate product. :rolleyes:

Might be because the :apple:TV and iPhone are a different part of Apple,Inc. apart from the computers accountingwise.

It mostly means Apple has the right to add functionality to existing AppleTVs without having to jump through ridiculous hoops like the $1.99 WiFi upgrade.
1. How much does Apple get out of every monthly bill?
2. How many iPhones were sold?
3. How did the rest of the profit centers do during the quarter and was there a halo effect? I.e. was there significant erosion to the iPod market. If there wasn't, watch out. AAPL goes higher. :)

Netflix-like movie rental subscriptions, perhaps? :)

Have they ever done this before...?
No.
Nope.
Just the facts (& figures) ;):p:cool:
1. How much does Apple get out of every monthly bill?
2. How many iPhones were sold?
Probably we're not going to get the answer to either of these questions. For one, the iPhone was released on the next to the last day of the quarter, and for another, I don't think Apple will ever reveal the inner-workings of their relationship with AT&T.
