iTunes Store Revenue

post from Daring Fireball on 23 August 2011 03:03:23 PM. © Daring Fireball

From Seeking Alpha’s transcript of Apple’s last quarterly finance call:

The iTunes store generated strong results with revenue of almost$1.4 billion. iTunes revenue was up 36% year-over-year, thanksprimarily to continued strong sales of music, video and apps.With more than 225 million accounts, iTunes is the #1 musicretailer in the world and customers have downloaded more than 15billion songs today.

Note: that’s $1.4 billion in revenues, not profits. And that includes themusic side, which is over 10 years old. And further note that Apple doesn’t mention profits from the iTunes Store at all. If they were making big bank, Apple would brag about it. I’m pretty sure the iTunes Store is profitable, but it’s insignificant in the grand scheme of Apple’s income. And yet that’s the business Mike Arrington thinks HP should focus on while selling piece of crap $200 tablets.
