Tim Cook: Apple by the numbers

23.10.2012
Apple CEO Tim Cook came to armed with numbers--a lot of them--to demonstrate his company's continued dominance. The biggest number? In the iOS 6 has been downloaded to more than 200 million devices.

"This is phenomenal," Cook said. "This is the fastest software upgrade rate in history, that we're aware of."

Cook also disclosed other new, mostly eye-popping numbers across the range of Apple's product lineup:

" Apple sold its 100 millionth iPad two weeks ago--just two-and-a-half years after the product launched. "That's unprecedented for a new product in a new category," Cook said. And the tablet seems to be trouncing its competition: The iPad accounts for 90 percent of all tablet-based Internet traffic.

" More than 5 million units of the iPhone 5 have been sold since its recent launch. "It's the fastest-selling iPhone ever," Cook said.

" The latest version iPod nano and iPod touch, he said, have joined the rest of Apple's iPod lineup to sell 3 million units. "Sales are going fantastic," Cook said.
