The iPhone is the most popular consumer electronic device to ever exist, but even so, it takes quite a while to sell a billion units. However, as Apple grows and markets evolve, each billion is coming faster for the iPhone.
During the earnings call, CEO Tim Cook revealed that Apple has sold its 3 billionth iPhone during the third fiscal quarter. It took a little less than four years to reach 3 billion from 2 billion, which was hit in September 2021.
