Astonishing Figures from Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs sticks to his style, and so Apple’s Special Event revealed to us some quite interesting figures. First of all, the impressive number of all iOS devices sold to this day – it’s 120,000,000. Astonishingly, it took Apple 3 years (from June’07 to June’10) to reach 100,000,000, and the last 20,000,000 came in just 3 months. Jobs also boasted that Apple were activating 230,000 new devices per day.
Downloads at App Store have hit the number of 6.5 billion, which is… well, unbelievable. All the more astonishing is that this figure is increasing at a rate of 200 apps in a second. App Store now offers 250,000 apps, 25,000 of which are for the iPad.
Apple Retail Stores now number 300 in 10 countries, with the first store opening in Spain soon. On some days these stores get more than 1,000,000 visitors.
