A shortfall in iPhone sales were responsible for the less-than-expected profit as consumers held off on purchases ahead of the company's next generation model, which turned out to be the iPhone 4S, rather than iPhone 5. Apple unveiled the iPhone 4S on Oct. 4, after the quarter's end, but the anticipation in the months ahead of the formal announcement was palpable and it apparently took a bite out of anticipated sales. Apple said iPhone unit sales totaled 17.07 million in the quarter. Select estimates among analysts, who are almost uniformly bullish on the stock, included 20.4 million units from BMO Capital, and a view of the Street estimate at 19.8 million units from Jefferies. The stock was last quoted at $395.19, down 6.4%, on volume of nearly 7 million, according to Nasdaq.com. Cree Shares of Cree(CREE) slumped in late trades on Tuesday after the Durham, N.C. maker of LED lighting components came in a penny shy of the consensus view with its latest quarterly profit and gave a disappointing earnings outlook for the current quarter. Durham, N.C.-based Cree sees non-GAAP earnings of 25 to 28 cents a share for the three months ending Dec. 25 with revenue projected between $300 million and $320 million. The current average estimate of analysts polled by Thomson Reuters is for a profit of 33 cents a share in the December quarter on revenue of $310 million. The stock fell 4.6% to $26.50 in late trades with volume below 500,000. Based on Tuesday's regular session close at $27.78, the shares were already down more than 50% so far in 2011.
