iOS product sales expected to pass $1 trillion this year
January 12th 2017
Horace Dediu:
The revenues from iOS product sales will reach $980 billion by middle of this year. In addition to hardware Apple also books iOS services revenues (including content) which have totaled more than $100 billion to date.
This means that iOS will have generated over $1 trillion in revenues for Apple sometime this year.
Another interesting tidbit is the iPhone is estimated to be unlocked an average of 80 times a day. This makes for 48 billion user sessions a day or 17.5 trillion sessions a year.
It might give some perspective of how big of an impact iOS 10's raise to activate the screen can have on device usage.
