Apple Sold More iOS Devices in 2011 Than It Sold Macs in Almost 30 Years

  • Big numbers are always astounding, but this isn't really about Macs or Apple so much as it's about price points. Lower price, more sales. No need to fetishize the numbers.

  • I hear this difference is even more staggering with Google and Android.

  • This just goes to who that we are now in the fabled post-pc world that everyone has been talking about for the last 10 years or so. I disagree that the iPhone is at a lower price point -- if you factor in the cost of a data plan on a 2 year contract you can easily purchase a macbook pro and an iPad for the same amount.

  • Phones outsell computers. So? Appending "apple" makes this interesting?
