Apple was laughing all the way to the bank during Q4 2006 when it enjoyed brisk holiday sales. The company saw its profits jump 78 percent from Q4 2005 and saw its iPod shipments grow 50 percent to 21 million. iPod sales alone accounted for $3.43 billion of Apple's $6.42 billion revenue for the quarter.
Apple may have an even better Q3 and Q4 once its iPhone is released in June of this year. According to iSuppli Corp., Apple will maintain nearly a 50 percent gross margin with the iPhone according to Bill of Materials (BoM) estimates.
