Apple reportedly lost $50 million to $75 million as a direct result of the September 11 attacks, according to a Bloomberg News report that quoted Apple controller Peter Oppenheimer. The losses came as a result of reduced consumer demand and the disruption in air traffic that crimped supplies of components and deliveries of computers. Oppenheimer added that “it’s difficult to tell” how much of the lost business will return, due to the continued weakness of the economy.
