“It’s important to note that that the majority of iPhone sales occur outside of Apple’s direct distribution channel.” — Cybart, Above Avalon ($)
My iPhone installed base estimate is derived from tracking iPhone users by the year they bought their first iPhone. The exercise involves estimating how each bucket of users (2007 through 2019 with each year representing a different bucket) upgrade their iPhones over time. This allows granularity in terms of running with different upgrade patterns dependent on the user.
Adding the 170M iPhones in use that have passed through the gray market to the 751M total from up above gives us an iPhone installed base of 921M (as of March 30th, 2019).
My take: No one does this better — or more transparently — than Neil Cybart. If you subscribe to his newsletter, perhaps he’ll forgive me for stepping over the limits of fair use.
