“In its first 10 years, the iPhone will have sold at least 1.2 billion units, making it the most successful product of all time,” Horace Dediu writes for Asymco.
“The iPhone also enabled the iOS empire which includes the iPod touch, the iPad, the Apple Watch and Apple TV whose combined total unit sales will reach 1.75 billion units over 10 years,” Dediu writes. “This total is likely to top 2 billion units by the end of 2018.”
“The revenues from iOS product sales will reach $980 billion by middle of this year. In addition to hardware Apple also books iOS services revenues (including content) which have totaled more than $100 billion to date,” Dediu writes. “This means that iOS will have generated over $1 trillion in revenues for Apple sometime this year.”

MacDailyNews Take: And the Apple ecosystem will only grow stronger and larger for, as Dediu writes, “Whereas Android was originally seen as the ‘good enough’ iPhone, potentially disrupting it, it turns out to be the ersatz iPhone. Chances are higher that users will switch from Android to iPhone and not the other way…. [For] reasons [that] have more to do with the ecosystem and quality of users (which are hard to measure) than with the hardware (which is easy to measure.)”
Hey brother, can you spare a dime?
Amazing…that is more than the GDP of countries like Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium…

Maybe the need to make chocolate iPhones?
The candy bar form factor did win after all.
Too bad they have an incompetent leading the company.
Statistics show that one out of every 5 comments originates from an oblivious loser 😉
Apple is not doing well with the Mac and AppleTV. The same cannot be said of the iPhone. They have been systematically putting the pieces in place to strangle the competition. No incompetence there.
Wait, I just read that the age of Apple is over and mobile phone innovation is dead. Must have been sleep in my eyes.
I wonder what the author Horace Dediu must have been smoking or something. Apple will never make it to $9,999,999,999.00. Let alone 1 trillion not in a million years.
For Apple reaches to one trillion dollars in ;market cap. How much is AAPL worth per share?. Anyone knows?.
How much is AAPL worth per share?
That’s literally the share price. Apple closed today at $119.25. That gives Apple a market cap of $635.88 Billion. Apple has a P/E Ratio of 14.35, which is well below market average of about 26. This means that it would take 14.35 years to earn $635.88 Billion in profit.
So for Apple to exceed a 1 Trillion in market cap… it could do that with current profit levels if it simply was valued at average market valuation of a P/E ratio of 26. However if the market still valued Apple at the same P/E ratio and Apple grew at its current rate, it would reach 1 Trillion in 5 years and 3 months.
That should be simple algebra ((US$119.40 * $1Tril) / US$625.89B). So about US$190.77. This is assuming no shares are added/retired since marketcap is basically (Price * Shares outstanding).
