“24 years to sell that many Macs”

April 24th, 2012

Tim Cook puts the iPad’s growth in perspective:

“Just two years after we shipped the initial iPad, we sold 67 million,” he said. “It took us 24 years to sell that many Macs, and five years for that many iPods, and over three years for that many iPhones.”

Wow. It’s very easy to underestimate exactly how important the iPad is for Apple and the future of computing.
