Thanks, Steve. -
Here’s my very early ballpark estimate from April 24th:
So now we have some guidance & Q2 performance known, what are the early ballpark predictions for Q3?
Working from 43.50% GM (2% higher than guidance), iPad growth, and iPhone shrinkage (clearing the channel before iPhone 5 in Q4):
20 million ipads
28 million iphones
5.5 million macs
7 million ipodsEPS $12.00
I’m tempted to stick with that, even though I have a feeling I’m way low on iPads.

Exceptionally low gross margin beat in relation to historical beats.

I stand at:
32.1M iPhones
19.9M iPads
4.72M Macs
6.15M iPods (like those even matter anymore
)$41.98B revs, $12.27 EPS, GM 44.5%. Seems a little high on revs, a little conservative in some areas such as GM, but it’s a bit of EPS insurance against a lower-than-expected iPhone number I guess.

Those units #s will produce $13 plus.

I might have typo somewhere along the line for Mac ASP. 1280 I think is right.

The Braeburn Group June Quarter AAPL Estimate
The consensus estimates from the 27 index participants are detailed in the table below. On average, the Braeburn Group Index participants expect revenue of $41.577 billion, representing a 45.52% year-over-year revenue rise and earnings per share of $12.32, representing a 58.09% year-over-year gain.

$12.20-12.30 is looking like the independent consensus.
Once again, my estimates are fairly closely in line with Cl4.

Thx Mav.
There was shoehorning to make all the numbers in the ballpark. I’ll try for a better gross margin estimate at the end of the week.
