Apple has sold 700 million iPhones to date
At Apple's 'Spring Forward' event today in San Francisco, Tim Cook took to the stage and announced that the company has sold over 700 million iPhones since the device was announced several years ago. No matter how you put it, selling 700 million of anything is impressive, let alone a device that costs several hundred dollars on contract and even more, contract free.
Apple's iPhone has been a hero device for the company and opened the doors to consumers to try out other products like a Mac and an iPad. Because of this, the company has grown to be the most valuable corporation in the world in terms of market capitalization which now sits at around 740 billion dollars.
Apple has solidified that they will only release one new phone per year and until the fall rolls around, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus will be the flagship phones for the company. Considering how well the device has been selling, the strategy is working well for the company.

Androids phones and iPhones are both really great phones, they both have their pros and cons. So arguing on which one is better is silly.

OhDiegoCostaBENDZY-Skittle This is a figure that can be used against iPhone haters, I love it!
Just because a product sells alot, does not make it a good product....
It kinda does... especially if a lot of these are repeat purchases
Not really. The last 4 Iphone sets haven't changed anything other than sizes, really. Iphones are good, yes, but I still prefer Android. A phone that is generations ahead of Iphone, plus all the features that allow all the extra Commercial Use(Coding, customization, etc. That Iphone doesn't allow.) Besides, as many people pointed out..There is a lot of re-buyings in this. My sister alone has bought the Iphone 6 three times now, because she can't make up her mind.
Plus, think of the families that buy for all their kids multiple times over for every new phone. Ridiculous. However, either way, it is a big mark for 700Million sales. So congrats to Apple on the profit they are making for the cheap phones they sell at high prices.
