Apple has sold an incredible 189 million iOS devices.

Yesterday it posted its financial results for its second quarter – and they're staggering.

Apple made an eye-watering $5.99 billion profit in the three-month period ending 26th March, with a whopping $24.67 billion in revenue.

The company is sitting on a $65.8 billion cash and cash equivalents pile. DuckTales. Woo-hoo!

Apple sold 3.76 million Macs, 18.65 million iPhones, 9.02 million iPods, and 4.69 million iPads during the quarter.

Total iOS sales to date: 189 million.

Want some more?

$1.4 billion was made in iTunes sales (1 billionth visitor coming soon), more than 100 million eBooks were downloaded, 350,000 apps are available (more than 10 billion downloads), and more than $2 billion has been paid to developers.

Let's talk about Apple stores. More than 300 stores are open across the world. 40 more will open this year. 797,000 Macs were sold in stores, half to customers without Mac history.

All these figures are up versus the same period last year, of course.

Looking ahead to its third quarter, Apple expects to make $23 billion. As you do.

The difference is Apple never took a loss on anything. Which is why their well on their way to being the first company to reach the trillion dollar market cap. Don't dare take on the Playstation family he says... You just made Steve spit out his cheerios laughing.

ios is an ifraud

woth them releasing a new iOS device every other month it doesnt come as a shock that theyve been able to gather that much what with the way attention spans can be diverted with the prospect of something "shiny and new"

i actually find this most humerous as really iOS is actually only getting there because of this well played marketing ploy. if apple ever toned down their iOS device release schedules to say once every 6 months.. they would need YEARS to turn up those kinds of sales

so the iOS is cool..hahah i lied!

the biggest misconception about apple is that there constantly turning out new models. which just simply is not true. sure they refresh their range each year but what electronics company doesn't. but where did you get the idea that they are releasing new product every few months.

im fully aware of the jokes but its actually very true.. its not a yearly refresh at all like a gpu or or other hardware/software.. they send it off to far in w/e they can ship it in.. since its creation less than 2 years ago there have been getting close to a dozen iphone variants.. 2 ipads and 1-2 ipods with an iOS

its not suprising they sell that many ios devices given that folks buy into a new one the second its available.. after their old one gets marketed and a hunk of junk.

So a new iphone, ipad and itouch is released EVERY OTHER month? I did not know this nugget of truth. You sir win the internet for investigating reporting! BTW do you know the actual time span of the releases? Hint-it's not Every other month. ;)

and yet people buy it, Apple is in the business of making money, why wouldn't they release a product they know could sell again every year. the ipad is great btw, its still heavy on the eyes for reading though.

Does that indicate unique sales, or is that counting the same people buying a new iPhone/iPad every time a new model is released?

That's rather important information since it significantly changes how these numbers should be interpreted.

Yes, it is, but what does that number actually mean? That's the real question. It might be 189 million units sold since the first iPhone, but how many people are on their 3rd, 4th, or 5th device?

Great, that amazing 5% of the PC market, whoopdey do. Android is the way foward, even the windows phones are getting there. Why the hell would you get an iPad that runs a stupid portable OS when you can get better tablets that run Windows 7 and everything compatible with it, including *gasp* FLASH! oh and it actually has lots of ports for you to plug it into things. Oh right, the one clear anwser, ignorance and vanity.

I didn't realize this was Business Spot. I thought we had what was suppose to be best for gamers in mind? They are being lumped together despite all being different devices in different markets, the OS ofcourse brings them together, but then iOS is just yet another unnecessary OS on the market. Why would I want a jumbo pad with a mobile phones OS? give me a few solid reasons why I would choose that over a Windows 7 able tablet?

So you think it's fair to compare combined sales of 5 devices versus one? don't make me laugh.

It's three different devices, and the iPod Touch, iPad, and iPhone are drastically different from consoles, you can't even really compare the two.

Same reason we talk about anything in System Wars - exclusives. With such a large install base you're going to get some very interesting games popping up (and a lot of crap, but that's easy enough to ignore).

[QUOTE="Birdy09"]I didn't realize this was Business Spot. I thought we had what was suppose to be best for gamers in mind? They are being lumped together despite all being different devices in different markets, the OS ofcourse brings them together, but then iOS is just yet another unnecessary OS on the market. Why would I want a jumbo pad with a mobile phones OS? give me a few solid reasons why I would choose that over a Windows 7 able tablet?DJ_Lae
Same reason we talk about anything in System Wars - exclusives. With such a large install base you're going to get some very interesting games popping up (and a lot of crap, but that's easy enough to ignore).

True enough, but the ammount of great games on iOS that are anything more than angry birds and all related type games (while fun... not a big deal) compared to... just being able to use the windows platform and the PC library (ofcourse taking into account the technical limitations of tablets.)

I dunno..., that video shows advancements in technology, tablet PCs have beena round since 2002, only it was running windows xp (nothing flashy) and not marketed the hell out of. this is 2011 now, apple made their statement with flashy design and advertising. but as usual the better alternatives are being ignored and apple are being portrayed as innovative... because apparently removing and controlling content and overpricing is revolutionary .

No Freind, that is the future! :P Seriously though, I gaurentee if this was in stores:

Was available in stores you would see a group of people jogging, walking, reading, talking with these in thier hands striding along as if they were pioneers of human society and would never buy or drink water from a tap again, those kind of people, are those that buy Macs and iPads, at least the phones were leading at some point.

Apple, good at making pretty things and showing them off, at the expense of the customer ofcourse, "highest revanue" yes. because they produce cheap, sell high and contol conent. but its white and flashy so lets praise them for it.
