Apple Sells 3.27 Million iPads in June


Even if the current bad press from the iPhone 4 had any real and lasting effect on the company’s reputation, Apple’s June quarterly numbers should be enough to remind everyone that there is a reason that Apple surpassed rival Microsoft in market capitalization.

In the financial quarter that ended in June, Business Insider is reporting that Apple reportedly shipped 3.27 million iPads, 3.47 million Macs, and 9.4 million iPods. The iPhone 4 managed to ship out an impressive 8.4 million units, which is slightly below estimates, but the number does not factor in backorders and delays which would have increased that number by several million. Also keep in mind that the iPhone just launched on June 24, six days before the quarter ended.

To put those numbers in perspective, the company earned $3.25 billion on $15.7 billion of revenue in the June quarter, and it is expecting to do even better next quarter, with estimates as high as $18 billion in revenue. So much for that whole “antennagate” issue.

The new iPad Pro is here, and it looks absolutely ridiculous

Apple announced the new iPad Pro series, which seems like the biggest upgrade to an iPad in years, at its Let Loose event on May 7. It brings an all-new processor, design, and display. The new iPad Pros still come in two sizes — 13 inches and 11 inches — and they now carry the "thinnest Apple product ever made" badge. It's a big achievement, considering Apple is dubbing the tablets' M4 processor as a "PC chip." In short, it's a bit more impressive than today's iPad Air news.

The new iPad Pros feature an OLED display for per-pixel brightness precision and greater contrast. It also allows for better immersion in content consumption. The displays can reach 1,000 nits of sustained brightness and 1,600 nits of peak brightness for supported HDR content.
