Dan Frommer from SplatF has posted an excellent graphical summary of the 2011 Q4 quarter:
The current holiday season falls into the 2011 Q1 fiscal quarter, and Apple expects it to be a massive one. The iPhone 4S release date has been timed perfectly to sell like hotcakes, with over 4 million sold in just the first three days.
Don’t be shocked to expect the next quarter to exceed Apple’s predicted earnings, if iPhone 4S stocks can keep up with demand. The iPhone is currently supported in by 230 carriers in 105 countries, with the iPhone 4S international rollout happening soon.
