That's interesting how publicly traded companies are not required to release these numbers. I wonder if that's always been the case?

- iknowalot 7y agoThe real problem is AAPL published that number to investors for years until the iphone X, when it was projected that they would miss targets on "expected YOY increase" in sales. This just reeks of financial engineering (buybacks/pumps/etc) taking a front seat in what should be a tech company.
- Traster 7y agoWhy would it not be the case? The important thing to report to investors is the financials. The last thing you want to do as a company is advertise to your competitors exactly which of your products are failing and which are succeeding. Also, it would be insane if companies had to report "Unit sales" do they have to report iPhone 7/8/9/X? Or 7/8/9/X + different colours? How about X vs X+? Do you need to know iPhone X+ White 64GB sales?
