Yesterday it was revealed Apple had launched a lawsuit on Friday against Samsung for ‘copying’ the iPhone and iPad. Samsung as already responded against the suit, and will defend vigorously.
With the release of that lawsuit, total sales numbers of iOS devices were also revealed. Asymco provides a breakdown of iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch sales, as of March 2011:
- On page 4:
“As of March 2011, more than 108 million iPhones had been sold worldwideâ€
“By March 2011, Apple had sold over 60 million (iPod touch) units.â€
- On page 5:
“By March 2011, Apple sold over 19 million iPadsâ€.
Add up the totals and you’ll get: 187,000,000. Incredible. Now imagine if you were a developer: would you target the App Store, Android Market, or App World?

Can’t wait to pick up the next iPhone so I can finally have a phone that’s supported again. You know what’s even shittier? The contract for my iPhone 3G isn’t even up yet, and it’s no longer supported.
I know the feeling. Thankfully my IPad 2 has helped!
you wrote “iphone” twice but no “iPod”
