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.

In just two days from now, Apple will take the stage at WWDC 2025 and showcase the big yearly upgrades for its entire software portfolio. I am quite excited about the platform-wide design update and a few functional changes to iPadOS, especially the one targeting a more macOS-like makeover for the iPad’s software. 

Of course, analysts will be keenly watching for Apple’s next moves with AI, but it seems some of the most dramatic features have been pushed into the next year. Apple can afford some of those delays, as long as the company serves enough meaningful updates to its user base. Apple won’t exactly be running dry on AI, though.

Best Buy is having an Apple Sale — this iPad mini is the best deal
Watching Netflix on Apple iPad mini with A17 Pro.

There's a big Apple Shopping Event going on right now at Best Buy. As you may know, Apple is a big brand. They don't need deals to drive sales. So, while there are always great Apple deals going on, it always feels like there aren't too many of them at any given time. At least that's my experience with the category. This time around, there are a few deals that stick out. Examples include the Apple Watch SE 2 at $169 and this Apple iPad at just $299. But there's one huge winner, and that's the Apple iPad Mini with an A17 Pro chip and 128GB of storage marked down to just $399. That's a $100 discount off of the $499 regular price. It's all yours if you tap the button below. As always, keep reading for our take.

For years now, Apple has launched the base model iPhone at $799 - but in 2025, more and more signs are pointing towards prices being increased for the introduction of the iPhone 17.

The likelihood of an iPhone 17 price increase was raised by the Wall Street Journal in May, and now Counterpoint Research notes in its recent 2025 shipment forecast that "cost increases are expected to be passed on to consumers" by not only Apple, but Samsung as well.
