While on the conference call following the quarterly earnings report, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook revealed that the company, as a whole, as sold more than 1 billion iOS devices to date. According to Cook, this impressive milestone was reached in the month of December, thanks to the help of the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch lineups. Of course, reaching 74.5 million iPhones sold in the first quarter of 2015 doesn’t hurt.
