Apple's Fiscal 2008 Results Show Significant Year-Over-Year Growth
On Wednesday, Apple released its annual 10-K reports which detailed revenue and spending for fiscal 2008. eWeek has kindly organized the information into a number of charts, including this one showing Apple's revenue growth over 2007:
Other graphs show growth in both Apple's desktops and portables by 37-38%. Even greater levels of growth can be seen across international markets as well. The results should come as no great surprise, as Apple has been reporting record breaking quarterly results throughout the year.
Apple's research and development costs have increased proportionally to their revenue and remains about 3.4% of net sales at $1.1 billion in 2008.

Desktop sales will decrease year on year now, I reckon things are moving much more portable.

Now that is some serious money!
I wouldn't say that Apple are "dodging the bullet" exactly, but they are providing essential products that everyone wants.
Even with people spending less the Apple products will sell, especially with christmas round the corner, these figures will go even higher and quite quickly with the new MB, MBP and the lower price on the iPod Touch too.

I guess that shows just how important the iPod is to Apple. So if the desktop includes the Mini I guess that is why there is no imminent update of it :rolleyes:.

1.66Bn out of peripherals!! :eek:
Also interesting to note that the iPhone only became really profitable this year. Portables must be the highest growing product market for all computer manufacturers...
No wonder apple makes such a massive profit, everything is so expensive.

$1.50 of Software and Services? Didn't know piracy was that rampant, or that .Mac was that bad?
The iTS is a powerhouse. $3+ billion on music and movies (and Apps?). I think they should rename that from 'Music' to 'iTunes Store'.
