Apple yesterday put a value on its decision to give away future OS X upgrades to all Mac users and offer the iWork and iLife suites for free to new Mac and iOS device buyers.
Coincidentally, the $US900 million that Apple will defer to account for the free software was exactly the same as the amount that its Redmond, Wash. rival wrote off its books in July.
But unlike Microsoft, which crossed off $US900 million in revenue to account for an over-supply of Surface RT tablets, Apple's number was not a loss, but instead a long-term deferral of revenue: The money will eventually be recorded on Apple's books.
During an earnings call with Wall Street analysts Monday, Apple's CFO, Peter Oppenheimer, said that the company would defer an additional $900 million in revenue from the sales of Macs and iOS devices in the fourth quarter to account for the free OS X upgrades to the former, and free iWork and iLife apps for both.
"We are deferring a greater portion of the sale of each iOS device and Mac sold," said Oppenheimer. "We anticipate that the additional deferral per device sold, coupled with our sequentially greater unit volume expectations in the December quarter, will result in about a $900 million sequential increase in the net amount of revenue deferred for software upgrade rights and non-software services."
Later, in response to a question, Oppenheimer spelled out how much Apple would defer in revenue per device. "[For the] iPhone and iPad, we are deferring between $US15 and $US25. That's up as much as $US5 per device. And Mac has been some $US20 to $US40, so up an additional $US20," said Oppenheimer.
He also noted that Apple has been deferring revenue on iOS device and Mac sales, and that the $US900 million was simply in addition to that. "As a result of an increase in the software that we are providing to customers for free, coupled with our sequential unit increases, we will defer, we think, about $US900 million more in revenue," Oppenheimer summarized.
In previous filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Apple had said that it deferred $US16 for each iPhone and iPad sold, $US11 for each iPod Touch and $US22 for each Mac. Those deferrals were to financially account for what Apple called "future, unspecified software upgrades and features relating to the product's essential software" and "the online services to be provided to qualifying versions of iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac."
Among the things covered by the deferrals were iOS upgrades -- which once cost iPod Touch owners as much as $20 -- updates to the iCloud online storage and synchronization service, and new functionality added to iOS and OS X via updates between major releases.
Follow-up filings with the SEC said that starting in July 2011, Apple deferred "all revenue from the sale of upgrades to the Mac OS and Mac versions of iLife," a move that at the time seemed to hint at a free upgrade to 2012's OS X Mountain Lion.

Apple's $US900 million moment
NEEDHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The Object Management Group (OMG) will be hosting the Standards for Free and Open-Source Software Governance Workshop on Wednesday, December 11th, 2013 at the Hyatt Regency in Santa Clara, CA. The objective of the workshop is to build consensus among Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) users, developers and academic research institutions on what a FOSS governance process standard should entail.
Running from 9am-12pm PST, the event is taking place at a time when the use of FOSS is rapidly expanding. Exchanges between organizations that contain issues with FOSS intellectual property rights must be standardized in order to automate processing and save resources. Phil Odence, VP of Corporate and Business Development at Black Duck Software, will introduce the Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) the de-facto standard from the Linux Foundation which enables organizations to share software package metadata that facilitate FOSS license and other policy compliance.
Leigh Jin, Associate Professor of the Information Systems Department at San Francisco State University will outline how FOSS has been employed by the university in order to provide a cost effective and efficient alternative to commercial Learning Management Systems. Not only will this case study outline the technical aspects of FOSSs adoption, but it will also explore how the universitys IT staff and administrators reacted to the software once implemented.
This complimentary event is open to the public as well as those attending the coinciding OMG Technical Meeting. Attendees are strongly encouraged to register online in advance. For more information, to view the agenda and to register, visit http://www.omg.org/foss-ca.
OMG is an international, open membership, not-for-profit computer industry standards consortium.
