2011 iOS sales surpass every Mac ever sold

Or, as was said elsewhere, "Apple Sold More iOS Devices in 2011 than Macs in 28 Years." It's hard to imagine, isn't it? I'm not sure that the systems that ran on the original Macs were "some form of OS X," though.

No matter what you think of iOS devices, this is a very impressive statistic. Apple sold more iOS devices last year alone that it has ever sold in the Mac line during the 28-year history of the product. The chart you see here illustrating this statistic comes from Asymco, with some of the data apparently coming from Apple’s Tim Cook. Apple sold 140 million Macs with some form of OS X so far since the Mac brand was launched.

OSX is about 10 years old now - so by that chart, 40m of the 140m macs were pre OSX nt. Greg K Feb 2012 #2
