Apple does not reveal detailed breakdowns like you claim.

Apple Q2 earnings report from Apple's own homepage and I quote:
“Apple sold 2.94 million Macintosh® computers during the quarter, representing a 33 percent unit increase over the year-ago quarter. The Company sold 8.75 million iPhones in the quarter, representing 131 percent unit growth over the year-ago quarter. Apple sold 10.89 million iPods during the quarter, representing a one percent unit decline from the year-ago quarter. “

Good grief!

Joe, that is not a detailed report. There is not an iota of detailed information in that report of the kind you were referring to that would reveal the data that Canalys could use. Have you ever run a business????

Here's what I'm talking about: How many of those iPhones were iPhone 3Gs 32GB? How many were 3Gs 16GB? how many were 3G 16B? 3G 8GB? How many iPods Shuffles? Nanos ? iPod touches in 8, 16, or 32GB versions? How many iMacs? Mac Minis? Mac mini Servers? MacBooks? MacBook Pros? Mac Pros? AppleTVs? How many of each were sold in the US or foreign markets? Which markets?

If I had my druthers, I'd want even more granulation of the data... but the Apple board and Steve Jobs would already be having conniption fits about revealing any of the data outlined above. Those are trade secrets. . . to be kept close to the vest.
