Apple delivered the greatest earnings report in history on Tuesday.
That's not hyperbole. Apple earned $18 billion in net income over the three-month period of October to December 2014. That's more than any other company has ever earned over a three-month span.
Apple earned those mind-melting profits thanks mostly to the iPhone, which is an incredible business.
Apple sold 74.5 million iPhones, up 46% from the year prior. The iPhone generated $51 billion in revenue, giving each iPhone an average selling price of $687.

You don't have to grow old to grow up.
I just gave you the link to the price ON AMAZON, Did you click on the link?
I've told you many times, I DO NOT POST THINGS I CANNOT BACK UP!
Go back and click on the link. Never mind, here is the page:
That's the price. . . $449.00, not $199.00, not 99¢.
"Ask price, also called offer price, offer, asking price, or simply ask, is the price a seller states she or he will accept for a good."
What in hell is that quote about???? LOL! Are you SERIOUS???? Who in the hell is ". . . they. . . "? The "they" I am talking about is AMAZON, the so-called maker and seller of your Firephones.
You, Mad Dawgg, are apparently completely delusional.
From what YOU are posting, you are obviously talking about someone trying to get rid of a "good. . ." USED Firephone which is NOT at all what we are talking about.
Being young at heart is independent of age.
It also not the same as being childish.
The ONLY one obfuscating here is YOU. You are blowing every kind of smoke and mirrors screen you can trying to claim that the figures reported in the article are somehow NOT real, not genuine, and not related to reality and propaganda when they are real, genuine, and completely the reality. YOU, tactialogic refuse to accept the facts and are dancing around trying to redirect everyones' attention to something else, anything else, but the facts. That, friend, is obfuscation of the first order.
NOT ONCE have you started exactly what is untrue in the article. You make innuendo about the article, but you have not once articulated anything about what you find in the article that is "propaganda". You merely declare it is and start screaming and shouting, as if mere volume is sufficient to make it so. Sorry, that does not suffice in polite discourse.
You do good work on this stuff, Swordmaker ... I’ve got to hand it to you. You provide backed up and accurate statements, which never happens with these Apple naysayers and haters.
And in regards to this Amazon phone, I’ve looked over different reviews of the product and I can’t see that it’s getting good reviews. They’ve got a long ways to go if they expect to catch up to Apple’s iPhone ... and I don’t think they ever can. I really don’t know why people would want that junk!
Project much? You are the one being argumentative. ONLY you. Everyone else is responding to your inane complaint.
nice try Sparky but you were still wrong.
It would help them a lot more if they approached things like a child, while still using their experience. They would probably live longer, too ... :-) ...
I never said the article was propaganda. I just pointed out that arguments I was being presented with were straight out of the psyops propaganda manual, and I provided the link to back it up. Anybody that's studied that would recognize it right out of the gate, and IMHO, everyone here should have read it by now.
Where is your link. . . Show me your price at $200 or $199 or whatever. Put Google "Firephone unlocked site:Amazon.com" and find what I just posted to you that has $200 or $199, and POST the screen capture. ASSHAT.
The $200 price is obviously a USED PRICE. . . and used or refurbished pricing is not under discussion, except perhaps in your deluded mind. That train left the station. . . and you are on a mule.
I again REPEAT, STOP USING A NAME THAT IS NOT MINE. ASSHAT! Do you realize what an idiot that makes you seem?
Reporting the WILDLY SUCCESSFUL STATS from Apple’s reporting of them on Tuesday is “psyops propaganda”?
LOL ... you’re hilarious ... :-) ...
I think they have enough experience to take care of themselves just fine without "help".
It’s the difference between an enjoyable life versus a miserable one ... :-) ...
No. tacticalogic, what YOU are doing is using psyops and Alynsky type tactics. Your tactics are classic Alynsky. Identify, freeze, ridicule. Repeat and don't get off message. But you don't do it very well.
I've studied Alinsky's Rules for Radicals too. He was big on ridicule.
It doesn’t make it any less hilarious ... LOL ...
Wow, they’re getting desperate for sales! I would say this is an indication this phone won’t be around much longer. Look for this one to bite the dust, as a casualty of Apple’s WILDLY SUCCESSFUL iPhone.
I am not weeping. . . today at 3:15PM it was NOT ON SALE except for $449.00. Do you think i pulled that screen shot out of my rear end? ASSHAT. Just because it was on sale on January 22, 2015, does NOT mean it is on sale TODAY! Amazon is notorious for selling stuff below cost. That means NOTHING! I again challenge you . . . look NOW. ASSHAT. Not last week.
Amazon LOST almost $800,000,000 last year. Why? It's because they sell $650 phones for $200. That is NOT a good business plan. You are getting desperate! Keep dancing.
You are one of those people who knows the price of everything and the value of NOTHING!
