Astazi compania Apple a anuntat oficial ca nu mai putin de 4 milioane de terminale iPhone 4S au fost vandute pana in prezent atat prin precomenzi cat si dupa lansarea oficiala din magazine. Compania sustine ca peste 25 de milioane de utilizatori au instalat noul iOS 5 pe propriile terminale si peste 20 de milioane de utilizatori s-au inregistrat la iCloud. Anul trecut Apple a vandut 1.7 milioane de terminale iPhone 4 in weekend-ul lansarii insa anul acesta cifrele s-au dublat si compania din Cupertino a vandut nu mai putin de 4 milioane de terminale iPhone 4S desi initial foarte putina lume isi dorea noul dispozitiv.
Pana in prezent Apple a vandut 250 de milioane de iDevice-uri si daca toate ar fi active, 10% dintre ele ar avea iOS 5 instalat deja. Numarul celor care utilizeaza iCloud este cu doar 5 milioane mai mic insa probabil in viitor cifrele se vor egala. Avand in vedere ca in doar o saptamana Apple a vandut 4 milioane de terminale iPhone 4S, in urmatoarele luni compania ar putea vinde cateva zeci de milioane de astfel de dispozitive si si-ar putea pastra titlul de cel mai mare producator de smartphone-uri la nivel global.
