Since its game-changing launch in the summer of 2007, the iPhone has been one of the strongest players in a very volatile smartphone market. While a number of tech giants have tried to out-innovate Apple and chip away at their market share, they have survived the challenges and remain a smartphone powerhouse with one of the most loyal user bases in history.
Here is a comprehensive list of the iPhone facts and statistics that you need to know. This is an offshoot of my original Apple stat post that was becoming unmanageable with the amount of stats that had been added to it.

Please note that some of these iPhone facts and statistics are easier to find than others. A few of these stats come from Apple’s own reports, but some are based on news reports and not official company tallies. Basically, this is the best I can find and I don’t guarantee anything to be 100% accurate.
