Apple Sold More iOS Devices in 2011 Than Macs in 28 Years

Posted on February 17, 2012 by Stan Schroeder

Apple sold 55 million iPads to date, CEO Tim Cook recently revealed in an interview with Fortune. The company also sold 37 million iPhones in Q1 2012 alone, with the total being around 175 million since the device's inception. All in all, Apple sold 316 million iOS devices so far. The numbers seem stellar by themselves, but Asymco created a chart of cumulative sales of Apple computing products which really puts them into perspective. For example, Apple sold more iOS devices (156 million) in 2011 than it sold Macs (122 million) in 28 years of their existence.
What makes these figures even more amazing is the fact that Mac sales are actually rising fast: 2011 was the best year for Mac sales in Apple history. In fact, all the major hardware product categories in Apple's roster are selling extremely well and show no signs of stopping. We can't say what this chart will look like in a couple of years, but right now, sky is the limit for Apple. [via Asymco, Fortune]
