Apple iPod touch Comprises 37.7 Percent of All iOS Devices Sold

Remember when Steve Jobs was telling Apple fans about iOS usage and activations, boasting just how much they were better than Google’s Android? During its September 1 event, in which a new line of iPod players were introduced, Apple said that 120 million iOS devices were sold to date. That’s one iOS device for just over a third of the inhabitants of the United States!

Curious about how many of those iOS devices are iPod touches? According to Asymco, it’s 37.7%. That’s over 45 million iPod touches, which leaves the iPhone and iPad making up the rest. Asymco reports:

We know that there were 59.6 million iPhones sold through June (from SEC filings)

We also know that 3.2 million iPads were sold.

If we assume about 8 million iPhones and 4 million iPads were sold during August and July, the total number of iPod touch sold is 45.2 million.

That is 37.7% of total units.

Of course, the figures are based on the assumption that Apple sold a certain number of iPhone and iPad units during July or August, but it gets close enough.

With the new iPod touch 4 coming out soon, the numbers will undoubtedly rise. The new iPod touch is essentially an iPhone 4 without the cell phone radios and a cheaper camera on the back (0.7 megapixels versus the iPhone 4’s 5 megapixels). It has a retina display, a 3-axis gyroscope, a front-facing camera for FaceTime support and runs the latest version of iOS. The pricing is similar to that of previous iPod touches, so for those wanting a new iPod or perhaps even an iPhone without AT&T, the new Apple music player is practically a no-brainer.
