Analyst: iPhone claims 32% of mobile manufacture profits for 1H 2009, oh really?

Leonard Bernstein Research psychoanalyst Toni Sacconaghi estimates that the mobile earphone manufacture made $6.4 billion worth gain during the first base one-half of this class, and that iphone_computer_hardware_call_option_fipple_pipe_puts_part_over_form.html’ title=’iPhone computer hardware call option fipple pipe puts part over form’>Apple (NSDQ: AAPL), with the iPhone, captured $2.038 billion of that or 31.8%. The matter about that number is that it’s an estimate based on several assumptions. Apple is unity of the few publicly traded companies with such a huge marketplace capital ($148.30 one thousand million) that continues to reputation their numbers pool based on a fiscal stern organization rather than calender. To put option that into plain English, when Nokia (NYSE: NOK), Samsung, Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE), Motorola (New York Stock Exchange: MOT) and others reputation their Q109 numbers pool, they reputation how much money they’ve made, or doomed, between the months of Jan and March; hence the term Q109 meaning first base stern of 2009. Apple’s Q109 numbers pool, they fell between Sep 27, 2008 and December 27, 2008. Think different indeed.

Apple Q209 and Q309 fiscal numbers pool fall between the dates of December 27, 2008 and June 27, 2009. We’ll tally that as first half calendar class for the sake of the argument. In those two quarters the troupe posted revenues of $16.5 billion and profits of $2.44 one thousand million. Now remember, those numbers pool cover everything Apple does, from the super cheap iPod Shuffle, to the ultra expensive Mac Pro desktops, to the billions (billions?) of songs sold on iTunes. Toni Sacconaghi estimates that $5.094 one thousand million, or 30.8% of Apple’s revenues, and $2.038 billion, or 83.5% of Apple’s profit, came from the iPhone alone. During those 2 living quarters, Apple sold 8.99 1000000 iPhones (3G and 3GS). Using Toni’s estimates, that would mean each iPhone sold was responsible for $566.63 in gross and $226.70 in gain, therefore having a solidness 40% edge.

I just can’t believe that. His numbers seem right, the mathematics adds up, but tin you honestly wrapper your drumhead about the fact that 83.5% of Apple’s profits came from the iPhone?

I simply can’t. It’s … stunning if it was true. Shame Apple simply refuses to break down feather their numbers pool based on products.
