Apple has always tried to outperform competitors and has broken records for sales and revenue almost every quarter for the past few years. Impressive earnings have made the company the world’s most valuable firm and products like the iPhone, iPod and iPad have made it a dominate player in the technology sector. A similar kind of impressive performance was once again witnessed on Wednesday, January 23 when Apple declared its results for the first quarter of 2013. Chief Executive Officer, Tim Cook, made it known that to date the California-based company had sold more than 500,000,000 iPhones, iPads and iPods. This means the company was selling at the break neck speed of 10 devices every a second.
Apple has sold a hundred million more iOS devices since June 2012 when it stated that it had hit the 400 million device mark. Of these hundred million devices, Apple has sold 75 million in the first quarter alone, which is a remarkable feat and the major contributors to this extreme pace were the latest iPads and iPhone 5.
The strong numbers for Apple’s iOS devices also enabled the company to achieve 250 million active iCloud accounts milestone. However, in spite of having such a astonishing selling rate Apple is still lagging behind Google’s Android powered devices, which according to the search engine giant has touched 500 million mark back in September last year and has surely further increased this number.
