76 Percent of Apple's 2011 Revenue Came From iDevices

We had spotted multiple Apple statistics before. We spotted this today:

"Last year's iOS device sales reached 172 million, Apple revealed today during a special media event for the third generation iPad. CEO Tim Cook said "Post-PC devices" account for 76 percent of Apple revenues.

Apple ended 2011 with 315 million cumulative iOS device sales. A week ago, Google said that cumulative Android device sales had reached 300 million, with 850,000 activations per day."

Of course, we knew the total number of iOS devices sold till date. The other number we needed to digest - registered android devices - is now at 300 million. Good match to watch.

Statspotting is a game now: the day's most striking numbers from the news, and how big they really are.
