"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.
