Apple Q4 2011 earnings by the numbers

Apple released its fourth quarter 2011 earnings Tuesday, reporting revenue of $ 28.7 billion, and earnings of $ 6.62 billion or $ 7.05 per share. That misses what Wall Street analysts had been expecting — revenue of $ 29.45 billion and earnings of $ 7.28 per share — but is above what Apple had forecast: revenue of $ 25 billion and earnings per share of “about $ 5.50.”

Here’s a quick breakdown of the devices the company sold between July and the end of September of this year.

iPhones sold: 17.07 million. Note: The fourth quarter ended on September 30 for Apple, so this total doesn’t include those monster iPhone 4S numbers Apple reported on Monday.

iPads sold: 11.12 million

Macs sold: 4.89 million

iPods sold: 6.62 million

There will be a conference call with Apple analysts at 2 pm PT, so check back for further analysis later today.
