Apple sold 1 billion iPhone terminals all over the world in the 9 years from the moment of launch until now, those from Cupertino setting an impressive record in terms of sales for a smartphone category, especially since we are talking about a manufacturer that has an exclusive platform and distributes it single.
The announcement is not an official one, but yesterday the president of Apple, Tim Cook, organized a conference at the headquarters in Cupertino to announce to the employees that The 1 billionth iPhone was marketed somewhere on the planet, and the lack of a larger-scale celebration is quite strange for the Apple company.
Even so, we are talking about a remarkable achievement for those from Cupertino, and this is because they have an operating system exclusively dedicated to the iPhone and manage a huge distribution chain by themselves, selling at the same time only one category of premium smartphones, which no one does anymore.
1 billion iPhones in 9 years
Unlike competitors who have multiple categories of smartphones and do not sell as much, Apple managed to conquer the world with the iPhone and sell 1 billion units in 9 years, only Samsung having greater achievements, but not exclusively with the Galaxy series, to be a fair comparison, but with its entire smartphone base.
Here's what Tim Cook said during the meeting organized with Apple employees.
The iPhone has become one of the most important products in history, changing the world in which we live. He became more than a constant companion. The iPhone is truly an essential part of our lives and makes our daily existence much easier. Last week we passed an important point in our history and sold the 1 billionth iPhone terminal. We never sought to make the most products, but we always wanted to make the best ones, which can make a difference in people's lives. Thank you to everyone at Apple for the work you do to change the world every day.
