It was also announced that 30 new stores are planned in the new fiscal year, with two-thirds of them being located outside of the United States.\r\n\r\nIn the September quarter, Apple's stores also hosted 99 million visitors, an average of 18,500 per retail location. In total, there are 416 stores, with 162 located outside of the US.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, in the past three months, Apple stores generated $10.9 million in revenue, a decrease from the $11.2 million in the previous quarter.\r\n\r\nIn Q3 FY2013, Apple's retail outlets brought in $4.1 billion, which equates to a 10 percent increase this quarter.
