| Apple iPhone sales close to 2 billion |
It has been 13 years since Apple released its first phone. Although the American company no longer announces the sale of its iPhones, analysts expect Apple's sales to reach 2 billion iPhones at a steady pace.
According to Bloomberg News, eight analysts sold about 195 million iPhones in 2020, so this year's sales surpassed those of 2019, which totaled 186 million. This brings the total number of iPhones sold when the iPhone was first introduced to the market to about 1.9 billion.
One of Apple's founders, Steve Jobs announced the first iPhone in San Francisco on January 9, 2007, and launched the company's product in June of the same year.
Since the advent of the mobile phone, the iPhone has contributed to what has become since the boom in the smart phone market, and many companies, including Samsung, have evolved to become the largest smartphone manufacturer in the world in just a few years. ,
A few years ago, with the arrival of Chinese companies, competition in the market became more difficult and the market reached a saturated level. Many companies, including Apple, that have relied on iPhone sales for many years are also affected. However, over the past two years, the company has focused on expanding its business by investing in other areas, including its software services (such as the App Store, Apple Pay, and Ap Music).
To divert investor attention from selling personal iPhones and other products, Apple has stopped selling iPhones, iPads, and Macs since early 2019.
If analysts' forecasts are correct, the number of iPhones sold this year during peak periods in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 will be much lower than the iPhone's total sales. However, this is due to a variety of models, economically speaking, Apple should achieve record sales in excess of $ 275 billion this year.
