Close to the start of the event, Cook highlighted the achievements of the company, including coque samsung galaxy s7 game of throne how Apple Stores welcome over 500 million visitors per year, but one statement caught our coque samsung galaxy j5 2016 etanche eye: “We are about to ship our 2 billionth iOS device.” While it wasn’t advised when it could take place, the coque samsung elephant typically high volume of coque samsung galaxy core prime bois holiday sales should mean it will take place sometime before the end of the year.
Considering galaxy s10 coque 360 the milestone achievement, it is worth crunching the numbers and personnaliser coque samsung a3 2017 examining how Apple has arrived so close to the 2 billion iOS device landmark.
Unfortunately, there is some ambiguity in working out how many devices Apple has sold, and when, due to the way Apple reveals its shipments. While it does advise how many iPhones and iPads it priceminister coque samsung j3 ships each quarter, the figure is to the coque galaxy s5 2017 nearest thousand units, and doesn’t take into account the iPod touch, a third iOS device that coque samsung s6 edge sailor moon doesn’t have its sales figures broken out.
The second problem raised relates to data compiled by AppleInsider from the quarterly results. Our data is compiled from quarterly results going as coque samsung s8 chez orange far back as the first quarter of 2012, which means we lack detail for the first roughly 350 million units or so shipped since launch.

For reference, Cook advised at coque galaxie s6 edge plus the time it was a Space Gray 64GB iPhone 6 Plus, which the company retained for itself.
While we know when in the quarter the device was sold, we don’t really know how many devices were sold before or after it during the quarter, so there isn’t an exact amount to use coque transparente galaxy a50 for “post billionth” shipments to start from. coque samsung galaxy s4 one direction Add in the increase in aliexpress coque samsung galaxy s3 holiday sales towards the end of the quarter, and it becomes too difficult to reliably work coque samsung galaxy j5 loup out.
The next best thing is to work out how far from the end of the quarter the iPhone in question was sold, and use that proportion of iPhones as galaxy a70 coque spigen a starting point.
We know the quarter ran from September 28 until December 27, a total of 91 days, and November 22 was day 52, which means there were 39 days remaining coque samsung galaxy s6 edge naruto coque samsung galaxy a3 2017 manga in the quarter that were post billionth devices. For coque samsung galaxy grand prime vampire diaries our purposes, we are counting that as 43 percent of the overall shipments for the quarter, equating to 41.2 million devices out of the 95.8 million reported for the quarter…
