In January, Apple said it would begin offering movie rentals, purchases and music downloads from the iTunes Store directly from the $200 device. If Jobs appeared blasé about Apple TV, perhaps it was because Apple sold 6.9 million iPhone 3G units in the 90day period ended Sept. 27. In fact, the iPhone dominated the company’s financials, helping to deliver profit of $1.1 billion, up 26% from net income of $904 million during the prior-year period. The company said iPhones now represent 39% of Apple’s total business. Apple said iTunes Music Store sales for Q4 were driven by sales of music, video and third-party iPhone applications.
