We ask you, urgently: don’t scroll past this
Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources—essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.Help Now >

Apple continues to do well in the market, as the company's flagship product, the iPhone, gained significant traction since March, and the Mac line of desktop computers also saw growth.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Apple sold 35.2 million iPhones over the last three months, up 13% from the same period last year, and Mac was up 18% with 4.4 million units sold.
You can bring a light into the darkness with "prayer and action."
For Apple, iPad did not sell as well, down 9% with 13.2 million units sold over the last quarter, and the news that customers are buying cheaper iPads-such as the iPad mini-has also hurt the bottom line.
Apple's CEO Tim Cook blamed "market softness" in a few parts of the world, but he did sound hopeful that turnaround might come from Apple's recently announced deal with IBM, effective later in 2014.
Cook said that tablets have not caught on in an office setting, and he hoped that the deal with IBM would change that.
"We think our partnership with IBM will be one such catalyst for future iPad growth," Cook said. "We're very bullish about the tablet market."
Apple's profits grew 12% to $7.7 billion, or $1.28 per share, during the fiscal third quarter which ended in June. Apple's earnings per share was also up slightly because of the company's continual stock buyback program, which has lowered the amount of shares held by investors by about 7% since last year.
The company posted $37.4 billion in revenue, up 6%, and the company's profits exceeded Wall Street expectations. For this quarter, Apple is expecting sales between $37 billion and $40 billion.
All eyes are also on the company for the next few months, for the expected September release of the iPhone 6, and many are expecting that many customers are holding out purchasing iPhones in anticipation of it.
