Apple by the numbers

Apple is now one of the biggest companies in the world by market valuation. Just how big it is, you’ll see in the infographic below prepared by the good folks of Sortable. But before showing you the chart, let me recap key numbers:

  • Apple’s revenue over the past 12 months is more than the GDP of New Zealand
  • Apple has beaten Wall Street’s estimates in 16 out of the last 17 quarters
  • 75% of Apple’s revenue comes from iPhone and iPad
  • Apple Stores makes 2x what Tiffany & Co make per square foot and 7.6x that of Best Buy

Impressive indeed. And here’s the infographic…

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    You might also like to mention that the iPad has settled at 65% Marketshare and Android at 30% Marketshare +/- 5% for the past straight 5 quarters.

    (taking NPD’s lower estimates of 3.8 million Kindle Fires sold Q4 2011 and 1.8 million sold in Q1 2012, which lowers Android’s tablet share in the Christmas quarter and raises the iPad)

    This is close to the 70% Marketshare the iPod has enjoyed for the past decade and similar to the 63% share of new smartphone sales that the iPhone has averaged over every carrier in the USA that sells the iPhone.
