Apple's ipad, iphone And Mac Sales Shoot Up In India

NEW DELHI: When Apple released its numbers for the three months ending, it reported earnings of $7.7 billion, or $1.28 per share. This shows a 12 percent increase from income of $6.9 billion, or $1.07 per share, at the same time last year, the biggest earnings gain for Cupertino in nearly 2 years.

The rise in earnings is being attributed to strong performance in the Chinese market, but hold on, even India wasn't too behind in terms of growth, though not sheer volume reports NDTV. In India Apple registered strong gains across all three major product lines, iPad, Mac computers, as well as iPhone.

It seems that iPad sales around the world had slowed down but have gone up in India. Luca Maestri, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Apple said "Turning to iPad, we sold 15.3 million units, compared to 14.6 million in the June quarter last year," said Maestri. "iPad sales grew overall in the developing markets with particularly strong year-over-year growth in the Middle-East, where iPad sales were up 64 percent, in China where they grew 51 percent, and in India, where they were up 45 percent."

Apple sells iPad Air, iPad with Retina display (iPad 4), iPad mini with Retina display and iPad mini models in the Indian market. The price of iPad mini range starts at 21,900 while the 10-inch iPad starts from 28,900. Earlier this year, Apple had discontinued iPad 2 and relaunched iPad 4 as iPad with Retina display.
