A few things on the iPhone that I’ve picked up in the last week or so
Apparently, Apple shifted 1.9 million of the devices in the second quarter of 2009, a growth rate of 1,041% compared to 2008. Compare this to Nokia who, although sold 14 million devices didn’t experience any growth.
This certainly makes it clear where we are headed with devices. Bearing in mind Apple is reported to have sold over 173 million iPods since 2001 it might not be long before the whole world has an iPhone.
