iOS By The Numbers
September 1, 2010
As an introduction to Apple's fall product announcements, Steve Jobs shared some pretty impressive numbers about iOS.
Since its debut in 2007, Apple has sold 120 million iOS devices between the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Apple also claims they activate approximately 230,000 devices per day. Steve Jobs said, that "some other companies" are counting upgrade activations, and the Apple number is only new customers.
The App Store for iOS has also logged some impressive numbers as well. The App Store is currently serving around 200 apps per second, which totals 6.5 billion app downloads since the App Store was introduced in 2008.
While many other competitors can tout their numbers, it's obvious that it will be hard to top Apple's success thus far.
