“Total iOS device sales may have reached 80 million units in the just-concluded December quarter, driven by particularly strong demand for the new iPhone 5s and iPad Air, sales surveys conducted by Canaccord Genuity suggest,” Neil Hughes reports for AppleInsider.
“Analyst T. Michael Walkley cited proprietary sales surveys in a note to investors on Tuesday,” Hughes reports. “Walkley has projected that Apple sold 54 million iPhones in the December quarter, representing a 13 percent year over year increase, along with 24.8 million iPads, good for 8 percent growth from a year prior.”
Hughes reports, “Together, that would be nearly 80 million iOS devices — and that doesn’t even include the iOS-powered iPod touch, which historically has accounted for more than half of all iPod sales in any given quarter.”

Dooooooooomed!
“Bloodbath”
Stock will tank!!!!
Sadly, it probably will.
80m complex little devices, Its unfathomable.
They forgot to add about ~7 million of iPod touches; total figure is going to be 85-90 million.
The only company that is making money and innovative products (every one of them, including software and services) and the blind idiots that cover technology and the economy at large, still don’t get it.
They would rather make hay out of google’s purchase of an X Apple employee who couldn’t cut it at Apple and instead went solo with pretty cool thermostat product that many, NOW, won’t touch…
But really, how many people are actually using them? /s
And the thermostat isn’t reliable Google light another $ 3billion on fire just to hire a few washed up ex Apple engineers.
Sorry posted on wrong thread.
I’ll throw this stat in here, just for fun.
Worldwide PC shipments for the third quarter of 2013 totalled 81.6 million units. Compare that to 85 million units of iPhone and iPad (80 million) and Mac (assume 5 million).
If only Steve were alive today. He’d be grinning from ear to ear knowing how he beat down his great nemesis Bill Gates in the PC war.
If Apple actually sold close to 80 million iPhones and the stock only has a target price of $600, then I’d be feeling pretty sorry for myself as an Apple shareholder as I watch Google shares go to $1200 and beyond. 80 million iPhones would be a huge jump in revenue and EPS. If Apple sells 80 million iPhones is only worth $600 a share then I see no reason for anyone to invest in Apple and just continue to buy stocks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or any other profitless stock that’s making shareholders wealthy.
I meant 80 million units of iPhones and iPads combined.
You’re forgetting the cash and the dividends. And those 80 million iOS devices are not all phones.
The iPad Air just laughs at all the other tablets for size, weight, build quality and everything else.
But…but…but…Scamscum shipped 90 million tablets this quarter. 89.9 million sat unsold…..
