2016 is the year when Apple will exceed the threshold of 1 billion iPhones sold worldwide, and based on the information provided yesterday, 988,15 million iPhones were sold until June 30, 2016, so there is a chance that this figure has been reached, but I think Apple would have already boasted, if the record would have been met.
Basically, Apple still needs 11,85 million iPhones sold to reach 1 billion sold in just 9 years from the launch of the series, this achievement not being easy to overlook, especially since we are talking about a closed platform, available exclusively for one manufacturer.
Moreover, we are talking about a single segment of smartphones sold by Apple, the Americans avoiding taking over the strategies of other competitors, who sell multiple versions of smartphones, Apple preferring to keep things simple, and this takes brought a lot of success, at least until now.
Apple announced in January 2015 that it sold more than 1 billion iDevices worldwide, and in January 2016 it announced that it has 1 billion active iDevices, the numbers are currently higher, and the iPhone will be the first series of products in the history of Apple that register sales of 1 billion units.
I imagine that Apple will want to mark this event in a special way, especially since we are talking about the most successful series of products in its history, but for now it is not known what the people from Cupertino could do to boast in in front of the whole world with an impressive achievement.
Now if we think that the average price of the iPhone has been maintained over the years above the value of 600 dollars, with 1 billion terminals sold in 9 years, those from Cupertino have collected much more 600 billion dollars in this period only from one product category, and this is equally impressive.
