In an exchange between analyst Edward Snyder and Charter Equity Research , with the New York Times in March 2008, Apple said it would be difficult for Apple to accomplish its goal of selling 10 million iPhones like Steve Jobs. Snyder pointed out that Nokia's one-week phone numbers are more than expected Apple sales. However, the figures in Apple's later report proved Snyder had misjudged. IPhone sales in 2008 reached 12.8 million devices.

Consecutive years later, Apple's iPhone sales increased exponentially. Apple reached the milestone of 100 million iPhones sold in February 2012, after 5 years. However, only one year later, this number increased to 200 million. Apple reached the 300 million mark even faster at the end of 2012. And it's crazy to know that, just over a year later, the number of iPhones Apple sold has reached 500 million.

Many analysts believe that Apple will reach the 600 million iPhone mark sold before 2014 ends. Especially when every 2 days, Apple sold 717 thousand iPhones.

In addition, we must mention the plan to launch the Apple iPhone 6 , which is expected to be in June or September this year. While the iPhone 5C model also has a cheap version to stimulate the market.
