Apple iPhone Growth

Item: which electronic consumers company has 2.35 billion active devices worldwide? Also, link here.

  • at its highest, in 2011, Blackberry was shipping 50 million smartphones globally;
  • Apple is shipping 220 million to 235 million iPhones annually -- that's just iPhones
    • and the number is increasing at an annual rate of 10 to 12 percent 
    • using a "growth calculator," that number will increase to 350 million iPhones in five years;
      • at an average price of $1,000 per phone;  = $350 billion in sales in one year
      • margins on iPhones are historically slightly less than 40%
      • in 2024, iPhone sales generated $202 billion for Apple -- source.
  • the 232 million shipped in 2023 was the second highest ever
  • the highest ever: 2021: 240 million (just after Covid-19 lock down) -- was Covid the best thing ever to hit Apple?
  • the 226 million shipped in 2024 was a decrease from the year before which absolutely terrorized analysts. LOL.
