Apple Posts Best Quarterly Numbers Ever

 If you've been following the tech industry at all, chances are you've probably seen plenty of negative press about Apple lately. Between teens saying that the iPhone is no longer cool, Android shares growing, and iPhone production being cut in half, it's hard not to say that things are looking at least a little bit bleak for the Cupertino company. To thwart some of these ideas however, Apple has released their own numbers. As usual, to their eyes this has been a record setting time for them during the last quarter of 2012 and into the new year.

Let's take a quick look at the evidence. The stats show that Apple made $13.1 billion dollars profit out of $54.5 billion in total revenue. This is supposedly the highest profits that they have ever seen. Still however, there are some other numbers to look at too. Gross margins are down 38.6% from 44.7% last year while sales if Mac computers and iPods also saw some small declines in sales numbers as well. Not to mention stocks also have reached just a little bit lower than normal as well.

Is Apple really losing ground, or would this record setting revenue change your mind?
