iPhone sells over 10 million this quarter, how about the touch?
December 30th, 2009
Apple might be on for a better quarter than what most analysts are predicting. The latest we heard is that the iPhone is on track to sell 11 million units in quarter ending Dec 2009. This is certainly huge given the yearly target that Steve Jobs himself set for the iPhone in 2007 was 10 million. 11 million this quarter would mean either the iPhone would be ahead of RIM’s Blackberry in sales or just neck and neck with them. But an interesting observation is seen in how the iPod touch is performing this holiday season.
Apparently the iPod touch saw a huge spike in app downloads activity on Christmas day. According to Flurry (mobile application analytics for mobile application developers across iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Java ME) the iPod touch saw a 1000% spike in app downloads on Christmas day and it happened to be the first day its activity surpassed the iPhone. This clearly shows that the iPod touch was gifted more than the iPhone (obvious). With the iPhone sales figure shooting as high as 11 million, you might well be surprised by a super-hit performance score by the iPod touch aswell. All eyes on the Apple earnings call and the rumored January 26th event!
