Usually the company buy you the machine and set up any stuff they need to get it to work, then it's all yours. That's how it works where I am anyway, though because all the stuff we use is SaaS/cloud based we don't maintain a central fileserver or anything like that. | |

Figures of something like 40% profit per product is insane though. | |

At the moment, they appear to be more committed to consumers. | |

Plus BYOD seems to be getting quite popular, supported by everything going SaaS which means that you don't piss off your I.T. nerd that much when you want a MacBook. | |

The only thing they needed to crack was China, the figures show they have done that. Hence all the money. | |

The other thing to consider is that Apple are coming more and more into the business market. | |

Tbh it wasn't just the money that stood out, it was that in effect they sold 34,000 iPhones every hour, 24 hours a day for 3 months. | |

Out in SA at the moment and every person I meet has an iPhone. Was there anything specifically UK related in that article? My hypothesis is that people with choice (and a modicum of sense) are increasingly going away from Apple, whereas the rest of the world where smartphones are magical new technology all go iphone. | |
