Well despite all the doom and gloom going on and companies going bust, it seems that Apple is out there kicking some ass.

For the first quarter of the 2009 fiscal year, Apple has reported a turnover of 10.17 billion, with profits of 1.61 billion.  For the same quarter last year, the profit was 1.58 billion. The results for this quarter also go down as the best so far in Apple’s history.

This is quite remarkable given the financial situation. Imagine how well they would have done if the economy was still booming.

The increases in sales by product are as follows: Sale of Macintosh computers was up by 9%, sale of iPods was up by 3% and sale of iPhones was up by 88% from the quarter one year prior.

Well Apple is definitely doing something right.
