Apple reported on the sale of three billion iPhones

• Apple has sold three billion iPhones since 2007
• Sales increased by 13% in the third quarter
• The company is facing difficulties in the supply chain

This was reported by TechCrunch, The Verge.

Apple announced that since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, three billion units have been sold. This information was revealed by the company's CEO Tim Cook during a conference call discussing financial results for the third quarter.

The milestone of three billion iPhones sold took nine years, while the next two billion were sold in the same period. This indicates the growing popularity of Apple's products. In the third quarter of this year, iPhone sales increased by 13% compared to the previous year, generating $44.6 billion in revenue, which accounted for more than half of the company's total revenue, which stood at $94 billion.

Despite the success in sales, Apple is facing some challenges in the supply chain. The company is competing with Nvidia and Microsoft for market value. Some experts believe that the recent increase in sales may be due to consumer interest in potential tariffs that could raise prices on iPhones in the USA.

As mentioned, the company is exploring other technologies that could complement, but not replace, mobile phones in the future.
