`Apple Statistics (2021) - Business of Apps
`
`Apple is one of the most influential and recognisable brands in the world, responsible for the rise of the
`smartphone with the iPhone. Valued at over $2 trillion in 2021, it is also the most valuable technology company
`in the world.
`
`Originally known for desktop computers, Apple was one of the first companies to switch to the graphical user
`interface (GUI) and saw success with the first Macintosh. Steve Jobs, the founder and CEO, was one of
`technology’s first “rockstars”, able to sell hardware as more than a tool for work.
`
`Jobs resigned from Apple in 1985 and the company saw a gradual decline over the 1990s, as it struggled to
`compete with Microsoft on software and Windows manufacturers on hardware sales.
`
`In a last ditch effort to save the company, Apple acquired Jobs’ company NeXT and installed him as advisor and
`then CEO. He turned the company’s fortunes around, launching iTunes and iPod in 2001.
`
`The iPhone saw Apple ascend to one of the most valuable companies in the world, with revenue increasing from
`$37.4 billion in 2008 to $65 billion in 2010.
`
`The success of the iPhone enabled Apple to launch new product categories, such as the iPad. Apple envisioned
`the tablet as a bridge between the smartphone and laptop, with the capabilities to be both.

`
`As iPhone revenues have stagnated, Apple has looked for new ways to generate revenue from the iPhone. It
`launched Apple Watch in 2015, as an accessory to the iPhone which tracks various health and fitness metrics.
`AirPods were next, which paved the way for wireless headphones to become mainstream.
`
`It has also built out its subscription services to include music and video streaming, video games, fitness and
`cloud storage. This segment alone generated $53 billion revenue in 2020, making it Apple’s second largest
`segment.
`
`All eyes are on Apple’s next products, which may include a virtual reality headset and self-driving car. The past
`few product launches have been smaller in scope, like the HomePod and AirPod, and Apple fans are clamouring
`for the next iPhone.
`Apple key statistics
`
`Apple generated $274 billion revenue in 2020, 50% came from iPhone sales. Apple’s services division
`was the second largest segment, responsible for 19% of the company’s revenue in 2020
`Apple sold 194 million iPhones, 71 million iPads and 20 million Mac and MacBook units in 2020
`Apple’s home and wearables division grew 25% in 2020. It sold over 110 million AirPods and 43 million
`Apple Watches
`Apple Music has 72 million subscribers, Apple TV+ has over 40 million
`Apple statistics
`
`Since 2018, Apple has split its business into five segments: iPhone, iPad, Mac, Services and Wearable, Home
`and Accessories. The iPhone generates the majority of Apple’s revenue, but Services and Wearable, Home and
`Accessories have both seen increased priority in the past few years, as Apple tries to find new ways to prevent
`revenue stagnation.
`Apple revenue
`
`Apple revenue increased dramatically between 2009 to 2012, from $42.7 to $156.3 billion. During that period,
`Apple vastly increased its manufacturing volume through its partner Foxconn, which enabled global iPhone
`sales. It also saw the launch of the iPad, which added $19.1 billion revenue in the first year of sales.

`
`Apple revenue by region
`
`Apple has always been most successful in the US, its home country. While revenues have increased in all
`regions, Americas is responsible for 45 percent of all revenue generation and approximately 40 percent of that is
`from the United States alone.

`Apple revenue by product
`
`iPhone continues to be the main revenue generator, but its percentage has decreased in the past five years.
`Apple’s other hardware, which includes Watch, AirPods, HomePod and Beats, has become a priority category
`for Apple, as a way to add more revenue to a single iPhone purchase. Services have also seen significant growth
`in the past five years.

`
`iPhone statistics
`
`iPhone is Apple’s most valuable product and has, since 2008, been its main source of revenue. Even though
`Apple has diversified its product line with Watch, AirPods and services, iPhone is still responsible for 50
`percent of Apple’s revenue.
`
`In the past two years, Apple has launched four models of iPhone. These are: iPhone, Mini, Pro and Max. All
`come with different price points and are aimed at targeting as many consumers as possible.
`
`iPhone revenue
`
`Apple saw double-digit year-on-year iPhone growth from 2008 to 2015, but revenue has stagnated since. Apple
`has added new models, such as the Mini, Pro and Max in the past two years, although that hasn’t drawn in more
`customers. More customers are also holding onto their phone for longer, with Apple providing software
`upgrades for longer than two years.

`Xiaomi and Huawei.

`iPhone sales by region
`
`Sales of the iPhone have fallen each year since 2015 in China, from a high of 71.2 million in 2015 to 34.9
`million in 2020. Apple has not been able to break into other fast-growing countries, such as Brazil, India,
`Mexico or Pakistan, due to the cost of their recent devices.

`Hotly anticipated after the success of the iPhone, the iPad made an immediate mark, adding $19 billion to
`Apple’s revenue in the first year. iPad sales peaked in 2013, with the launch of the iPad Mini enticing 97 million
`customers.
`
`iPad revenue
`
`Revenue for iPad has remained in the $20 to $30 billion revenue range since launch, but this peaked in 2013
`with the launch of the iPad Mini. Since then, Apple has struggled to entice new customers and iPad owners
`typically hold onto their device for more than three years.

`Wearable, Home and Accessories statistics
`
`Apple does not break out its other categories, making it difficult to determine how much revenue each product is

`
`Wearable, Home and Accessories revenue
`
`Apple has seen 243 percent growth in this segment since it bundled together all of its other hardware segments.
`We estimate that AirPods is a $10 billion business on its own, with Apple Watch also potentially contributing
`between $12 to $14 billion a year.

`
`Even with Apple’s shift in priorities from PC to mobile, Mac has remained a core part of the company’s product
`portfolio. PC sales have been flat or in decline for the past decade, but Apple has added more revenue and sales
`almost every year since 2009.
`
`Mac revenue
`
`Throughout the decade, Apple has kept a core set of products: MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac Pro and iMac.
`While there have been iterations and new models, this core has remained popular across a broad spectrum of

`Apple Services statistics
`
`An increasingly important part of Apple, as it continues to add more subscriptions and services to its iOS
`platform. With iPhone and iPad sales not likely to see much significant movement, Apple sees services as a way
`to continue growing.

`
`It should be noted that Apple rarely publicises usage or subscribers for certain apps, like iCloud, iMessage,
`FaceTime and Health, which is why we have not included them in this data report.
`
`Apple services revenue
`
`In comparison to iPhone, iPad and Mac, Apple’s services revenue has increased year-on-year. Some analysts see
`it as the most important segment of the company, potentially reaching $50 billion in profit by 2025.

`
`Apple Pay transaction volume
`
`507 million
`
`Apple Pay transaction volume more than doubled between 2018 and 2019, as more customers became
`comfortable using their phone to pay for things. While Apple has not revealed transaction volume for 2020, we
`suspect it will be lower than 2019 due to COVID-19.

`Apple News users
`
`Apple’s news aggregation service may not responsible for much revenue generation – for Apple or news
`providers – but it has added more readers every year since launch. It is still behind Flipboard, with 145 million
`MAUs, but may surpass it by 2022.
`
`Apple News+ added 200,000 subscribers in the first 48 hours, but has not made any significant strides since
`launch.

`that many of the ‘active’ users have only enabled Siri on their device, but do not regularly use it.

`Siri accuracy
`

`Apple Arcade subscribers
`
`Apple’s mobile gaming subscription platform has seen some interest, however Apple has reportedly changed
`course and will not publish as many exclusive games as it planned. This may be perceived as Apple not meeting
`subscription targets after one year.
