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.

TTG_DolphinsFan That is a lot of phones. Just curious how many others have sold, like Samsung? Even though I'm an Apple guy myself.

EarI Iphones are awesome! Ive tried all the androids and find myself right back to ios!
You must like over priced hardware, and limited customization.

I have had multiple iPhones myself, and I keep finding myself coming back to Android. Even with a jailbreak I still feel like I cannot customize the device enough. I do like the simplicity of iOS, though.
