Apple has just announced its latest round of financial results, and while iPhone sales fell slightly short of analyst predictions, there were still some huge numbers to get your head around.
Having been named the world’s most valuable brand earlier this month, some of the figures listed below do a pretty good job highlighting why that is.
Microsoft are on the comeback, but for now Apple remain the top dog in Silicon Valley – and here are the numbers to prove it.
The number of iPhones sold in three months. That’s roughly 533,000 iPhones sold every day in that period – or 22,000 a hour.
So *that’s* why those Apple Stores are always so busy.
Apple’s profit in the same period – a cool £7.2 billion. Not bad considering most companies would be delighted with £7.2 billion revenue. In a year.
The amount of revenue earned in China alone (£7.8 billion). It’s Apple’s second biggest market outside of the Americas.
The increase in revenue in China over the last year. Revenue has pretty much doubled in just 12 months. Yes, Apple has been very aggressive in China with hundreds of new stores opening and sending the iPhone 6s there on launch day, but it’s still a huge jump.
The number of iPads sold. This is a declining market for Apple, but they’ve still managed to sell nearly 10 million tablets in three months.
The number of Macs – so desktop and laptop devices – that have gone out of the door in the same period.
