iPhone turns 16: Nearly 3 billion sold so far

The interesting device introduced by Steve Jobs at the Macworld event held on January 9, 2007 would soon radically change the smartphone market. Introduced as a multifunctional phone, the iPhone turned 16 today.

How much did the iPhone sell?

The iPhone, which was introduced as a phone far ahead of its time with a touch screen, camera, web capabilities and iPod capability, did not disappoint the self-confident. It started a new era with the application ecosystem feature.Connecting with a 30-pin cable, the original iPhone could be used with a touchscreen, access the Internet, play music and run various applications. The iPhone, which managed to break a record even though it was sold in limited countries, broke a new record today. Apple's total iPhone sales to date have reached 2.32 billion. There is no phone series in the market that has reached this figure. Nokia's push-button phones years ago sold up to 250 million, but there is only the iPhone in the series. The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S series, which sold 400 million in total, were the models that contributed the most to this figure.

As Apple only sells iPhones, it also triggers high sales. It should be noted that Samsung's Galaxy S flagship series has also reached 2 billion. Despite the multiple series, the success achieved is remarkable. Samsung's best-selling smartphone was the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S4 series with 70 million sales.
