Apple passes 1 billion iPhones milestoneJuly 28, 2016 - 11:14 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Apple recently sold its billionth iPhone, the company announced on Wednesday, July 27, according to The Verge. During a meeting at Apple's Cupertino headquarters, CEO Tim Cook made an appearance to celebrate the major milestone. "iPhone has become one of the most important, world-changing and successful products in history," Cook said. "It's become more than a constant companion. iPhone is truly an essential part of our daily life and enables much of what we do throughout the day." The iPhone debuted in 2007, so it took under a decade for Apple to cross the one billion figure. The billionth sale occurred sometime last week, though Apple hasn't specified who the customer was or where the sale took place. "We never set out to make the most, but we’ve always set out to make the best products that make a difference," said Cook. An Apple spokesperson declined to comment when asked whether the customer received anything in celebration of being part of iPhone history. Reaching a billion iPhones sold is a monumental accomplishment, but Apple faces slumping sales and stalled momentum as we approach the introduction of another iPhone in September. Rumors have indicated that the company's next handset will see relatively minor design changes compared to the iPhone 6S, with a more radical overhaul due in 2017 coinciding with the iPhone's 10th anniversary.
