Several factors to explain the upward financial trend were the increase in net sales of iPods by US$3.2B, which was a 248% increase. Other music related products and services also had an increase in net sales of 223%. The company also experienced smaller increases in the net sales n retail, peripherals and other hardware, Macintosh computers, and software, services and other sales. There were no decreases in the net sales of all products, but Net sales per Macintosh and iPod fell due to new pricing strategies and the introduction of lower end products such as the iPod Shuffle.
