    That's 362,111 iOS Devices sold, per day. If it's 4 million iPod Touch devices, the per day sale of iOS devices becomes: 373,222.

    They stated that 50% of the 7.5 million iPod sales were Touches.

(or am I missing something?)



    Historically, the 4th Quarter is small next to the Christmas [1st quarter]. The big back to school push is strong through August but doesn't continue through September.



    Yes, they will blow out their estimates, but the guidance is a respectable one relative to their history.

They are stating milestones, while Apple is reporting total numbers which we must average.



    They reported 100mil in mid May and 130mil in mid July. Those were reported as totals.

    Maybe I'm missing irony here but that 220mil number was total, not quarterly. The quarterly number was around 34 mil

    Okay, I see where you're going with that. That's 30 million in around 60 days. That is 500k per day average, assuming it was exactly 60 days.



    edit: That's still activations of Android v. sales of iOS-based devices. If you buy an Android phone, activate it, hate it, return it does that count as an activation? Furthermore, if you sell it and someone else sets it up with their Google credentials does that same device get another activation or is tied to the phones HW ID for the first and only first activation?

    I think it was a little more than 60 days, but then they didn't announce the 500k till late June. At any rate I'm convinced that they're not just pulling out a peak figure and trying to pass it as an average.

    No argument there of course. It may be an average, but it's unclear what it's an average of exactly. It's certainly doesn't seem like it's unduly constraining Apple's growth.

    Oh, right. Thanks. I was so excited I jumped ahead a quarter!

    I wonder what Apple's number of iPhones sold would be if SJ adopted the Android strategy of "buy one, get one free".

    Yes. Is it one activation per device or a new activation per device per user.

    You know if Android fails to compete in the Tablet space Apple may catch up without the need of a cheap iPhone.

    I expect them to sell as many iPads as iPhones at Christmas.

    It's still odd though. I find it hard to believe they will sell $3.6 billion LESS next quarter.

    and to think i wanted to buy apple stock when the ipod mini came out, before the split, when the price was ~$30.



    if i was 5 years older at the time i could have bought some :-( unfortunately even with apple's incredible success buying this high doesn't seem like a good option.

    The Mac total would have been even HIGHER, had the new MacBook Air been released a month earlier. (Supposed to be released tomorrow with 10.7, if rumors are to be believed.)

    Throw on another...

    9,250,000 iPads

    at 711,538 per week.



    That is more than 2 million iOS devices getting activated per week excluding the iPod.



    (What was the Android number? 500,000?)



    As you were told, Android is 550,000 per day (allegedly). Your number for iOS doesn't include iPods, but IIRC, that would add about 600 K per week - so the total number of iOS devices sold is somewhere around 2.8 to 3 million.



    HOWEVER, the big flaw is that we don't know what Google means by activations. One person here claimed that a Google engineer told him that every time you swap SIM cards, it's a new activation. Until Google starts publishing actual sales figures, you can't really do a comparison.

    Google has never stated that. In fact, they've refused to say exactly what they mean by 'activation'.



    The fact that it would be easy for them to publish sales figures suggests that they're intentionally obfuscating.
