That’s over a HUNDRED MILLION ... and growing ... :-) ...

That number is only for Macs. . . over ONE BILLION iOS devices were sold as of December 22, 2014. Apple has 600,000,000 credit cards registered at the iTunes and App Stores. These Anti-Apple fanatics cannot stand they are getting outnumbered by those who "Think Different" than the lemmings who're following each other over the Microsoft and Android cliff.

Analysts say Apple has beaten Samsung to become world’s largest smartphone vendor
http://www.theverge.com/2015/1/29/7937177/apple-beats-samsung-smartphone-share

After recording the biggest quarterly profit by any company ever, Apple might have earned itself another accolade: world’s largest smartphone vendor. It’s clear that the iPhone maker had a bumper quarter, reporting record sales of 74.5 million smartphones. However, Samsung is only saying that it sold 95 million total handsets, of which, it says, somewhere between 71 million and 75 million (the “high 70 percent”) were smartphones.

So has Apple finally beaten Samsung? It’s impossible to say with absolute certainty. Samsung isn’t likely to give up any more information on the topic, and analysts and industry experts are hedging their bets accordingly. Some are marking it as a dead heat while others are claiming Apple as the winner. Counterpoint Research, which polls global distributors for its figures, says the iPhone maker is definitely ahead — pegging Samsung’s shipments at only 73.8 million. Ben Bajarin, an analyst for Creative Strategies also gives the win to Apple (see chart above), but Strategy Analytics claims both vendors shipped 74.5 million smartphones in the fourth quarter last year.
