2011 Q1 iPhone, iPod touch, iPad Sales Estimate by Nilay Patel
In his analysis of Apple vs. Samsung trademark and trade dress lawsuit, Nilay Patel was able to estimate number of iOS devices sold in 2011 Q1.
Apple 2011 Q1 iPad, iPhone Sales Estimate
Using Apple’s “sold over” 108 million iPhone, 60 million iPod touch, and over 19 million iPad by March 2011, Nilay Patel calculates a conservative 2011 Apple iOS device sales:
- Total iPhones sold before Q1: 89,971,000 implying a minimum of 18.1 million sold during the quarter (my estimate is 18.4)
- Total iPod touch sold before Q1 (estimated): 55.5 million implying a minimum of 4.5 million iPod touch sold during the quarter (my estimate 5 million)
- Total iPads sold before Q1: 14,789,000 implying a minimum of 4.2 million iPads sold during the quarter (my estimate is 7.3 million).
Apple is set to announce its official quarterly earning report tomorrow. We’ll know more then.
