Following mixed reviews of its latest iPad line refresh last week, Apple kicked off the week with its fiscal fourth quarter earnings report, hitting all analyst targets.

The iPhone maker reported a net income of $7.5 billion, or $8.31 per share (statement). Non-GAAP earnings were $8.26 per share on a revenue of $37.5 billion.

Wall Street was looking for earnings of at least $7.93 on a revenue of $36.84 billion.

Apple shares were up slightly just before the closing bell rang on Monday.

Cupertino was quick to describe Q4 as a “record September quarter” with iPhone sales up by approximately 26 percent annually to 33.8 million units. That figure was undoubtedly helped by the the unveiling of the new iPhones 5C and 5S last month.

Nevertheless, even as iPad sales continue to grow, Mac figures demonstrate Apple is not immune to the PC industry woes either.

iPad sales were up slightly annually to 14.1 million units versus 14 million, while Mac sales were down from 4.9 million in the year-ago quarter to 4.6 million units this time around.

For the fiscal first quarter, Wall Street is banking big time on a combination …

iPhone 5S: Gold and Fingerprints

iPhone 5S: Gold and Fingerprints

ZDNet iPhone 5S Report

iPhone 5C Report

Apple launched its brightest and cheapest new iPhones in an uncharacteristically low key event Tuesday, Sept. 10.  The iPhone 5 S confirmed all the rumors about its increased innards and capabilities which were considerable: faster processor, separate chip for motion, gold back frame available and the big surprise: a fingerprint reader.  While the capabilities of the phone, including a lot of great new photo features, were significantly increased, the handset itself stays essentially the same size and feel as the current iPhone 5.

The iPhone 5C was the colorful debutante at the ball dressed in hues ranging from yellow to pink and sporting available Apple rubber cases with remarkable colorful designs themselves. It had been hoped that Apple would use this phone made of cheaper materials as a way of breaking into the lucrative international markets like China, India and Brazil.  However it looks like Apple feels that they can still take the money and run; a policy which is leaving them in a distant second place to inexpensive but accessible Android phones by companies like Samsung.
