Apple Is Attracting New Mac And iPhone Users By the Millions

4:38 pm, April 20th, 2010, Leander Kahney

Apple is sweeping up PC switchers and new iPhone users by the millions.

Take the 8.75 million iPhones Apple sold in the March quarter. Add them to the 42.4 million sold at the end of the last quarter. That makes 51.15 million iPhones sold to date. That’s a lot of iPhone users.

Also consider that half of the Macs sold in the quarter from Apple stores were to people who have never owned a Mac.

The March quarter was Apple’s best ever for iPhone sales, racking up more than double the number of units sold in the same quarter last year. Mac unit sales are up 33 percent. Apple is projecting similar numbers for the next quarter.

And there’s no end in sight. On the analyst conference call right now, Apple COO Tim Cook is talking about increased retail distribution points (like Radio Shack) and the massive growth opportunities in China. And all this during a recession.

New website look and feel

In honor of the new Webpress blog MaccAmblings I’ve redesigned and updated my website  with a less stark look and feel. I may eventually adapt more and more of the site to WordPress as I continue to explore its capabilities but his should suffice for now.

As I am not a designer but a web developer,  among other things, I am reminded of the bumper sticker an Internet consultant in the early 90s used to promote his feelings about the Internet: “Its the Content, Stupid.”

Rather than flaming, spinning logos my intent, from here forward, is to the quality of the information I share. Mixed with fun content, of course!

Stay tuned.
