Presented for the first time 15 years ago, theiPhone Apple continues to accumulate sales records.
But how many iPhones has the American company Apple sold since the launch of the first model in 2007? The firm IDC would hold the answer.
16 years of iPhone (already)
It was January 9, 2007, and Steve Jobs was about to announce a new trio of Apple products, namely an iPod, a phone and a mini-computer. The rest, you know it. To everyone’s surprise, the founder of Apple finally unveiled a new three-in-one type device: the iPhone.
Quickly, the iPhone will be democratized among many users, Apple having then launched a new trend, that of smartphones. Each year, the American giant will refine its formula, with new generations always more at the forefront… and always more popular with users around the world.
The smartphone that was worth 2.32 billion?
More than fifteen years after its historic presentation, the iPhone is more than ever an essential product in the Apple catalog, and the daily companion of millions of users. At the question, ” how many iPhones has Apple sold since its creation? The firm IDC Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker now provides an answer.
By compiling the latest sales statistics, Apple would have sold no less than 2.32 billion iPhones since the very first model, marketed in 2007. For the record, Apple had exceeded the milestone of one billion iPhones sold in 2016 .
Of course, over the years the iPhone has become more and more popular (and more and more expensive too), with the added bonus of an expanding range. Indeed, if there was a time when we simply bought “the new iPhone”, for a few years now, it is possible to buy the iPhone SE, the new basic iPhone, but also its Pro version, even , since the iPhone 14 generation, the “Plus” version.
