Apple has sold 4 million iPhone 4S in only one weekend !

    I hope that everyone has read one of the numerous articles that have been published in virtually all the newspapers and magazines. If you want just to follow Steve Jobs’ live in pictures, look at this link: http://www.newsobserver.com/2011/10/05/1543305/tech-junkie-steve-jobs-legacy.html.

     So now let’s talk about the new IPhone that Tim Cook presented last week. It was a surprise to see that he was presenting only a new version of the IPhone 4 and not an IPhone 5 like everybody expected. However it seems that this new IPhone is much better that the older one, that is to say that the quality of the camera is better and the battery will last longer.

    As the new IPhone has disappointed everyone, it wasn’t believed that the sales would be good. However, think long and hard before speaking, you might have to eat your words. The numbers show a whole different thing. The new IPhone has broken records! Apple sold 1 million IPhone 4S in its first 24 hours of availability, breaking the previous record for pre-order sales of 600,000 units for Apple’s iPhone. Since the pre-ordered was opened, Apple just announced that they sold 4 millions IPhone 4S! (4 million phones means that Apple sold more than 925 phones an hour, or more than 15 per second…)

After Steve Jobs’ death, the big orders for the iPhone 4S have come as a welcome relief for Apple.

     Even if Apple broke records with their sales and made a $6.62 billion in profit, Apple's quarterly results disappointed Wall Street for the first time in a decade, mainly because investors expected a lot more people to buy its IPhone 4.

Good bye Steve Jobs…

     As everyone heard, Steve Jobs died on Thuesday. We’ve just lost someone who has changed our lives since 20 years ! Imagine what would be your life without an IPhone, an Ipod, a Macbook or an IPad ? During this week everybody has sent messages via all social networks (a funny example : ISad).

Because of this bad news, people are asking themselves a lot of questions about Apple’s future without Steve Jobs.

Can Apple survive without Steve Jobs … ?

Of course we could have talked about this question earlier when Steve Jobs left Apple in August but it is only now that people realise that Jobs is not here anymore to give his ideas. The new CEO, Tim Cook, has been advised by Jobs before his retirement about how to continue Apple’s path towards success.

After reading all those articles dealing with Apple’s future, it seems that people are not too worried about Apple’s finance. Since January 2011 when Jobs was sick, investors and consumers remained confident in the brand and continued to buy its products.

The illness of Steve Jobs was annouced in 2004 and nobody was worried. Apple shares’ have marched higher since this date. However in August when Jobs said that he was too sick to continue and that Tim Cook was the new CEO, the stock had little changes as well as this week because of Steve Jobs’ death.

On october 4th, the price of the shares was about 374$ and on October 5th, when Steve Jobs’ death was annouced, the price of the shares was around 355$. But this low pick didn’t last long : the shares were at the same price as two days before on october 6th. 

I should have talked today about the new IPhone, the IPhone 4S that Tim Cook’s presented one day before Job’s death but this was too important not to talk about it.

So I will soon post my new article about the new IPhone, when it will be delivered, how many IPhone have already been ordered and how much money will Apple make when it will come out !

Have a good night !

PS : As I am French, I am sure that I make a lot of mistakes so sorry for that !
