Shocking Apple Inc. stats and fiscal facts

Parallels Desktop 6 for Mac“Apple’s 91-day quarter yields some impressive numbers — take them apart a little and you get the kind of stats you can reel off at a dinner party without being seen as too utterly crushing a bore, for example, did you know there’s one iPhone being sold for every two people being born into this world today?” Jonny Evans asks for Computerworld.

“Apple sold 16.24 million iPhones in the December quarter. That sure is a lot of iPhones, and while dwarfed by the 650 million bottles of Heinz Ketchup sold around the world each year means Apple sells more iPhones each year than there are cars sold worldwide,” Evans reports. “7.33 million iPads were sold in the last quarter. Apple has sold 14.79 million iPads since the product went on sale. That’s rather more than the three million some ‘analysts’ had predicted the company would shift in the year. It means. Apple has sold 55,393 iPads each day since the industry-defining tablet went on sale in the US on April 3, 2010. While lower than the 300,000 sold on the first day the iPad went on sale in the US, that’s still more iPads than the number of people you can fit inside the Yankee Stadium. Every. Single. Day.”

Evans reports, “Apple sells 2.47 iPods every second… Apple sells 31.52 Macs every minute of each day. 45,384.6 Macs are sold each day… Apple’s Mac sales have grown at a faster rate than industry averages not just for the last few quarters, but for the last 19 consecutive quarters. In other words, Mac sales have been ascending at faster than industry growth for almost five years.”
