Aside from the slew of general iOS stats that caught the eye during Apple's WWDC 2011 keynote, the firm also lifted the lid on iPad's performance to date.

In its first 14 months, Apple claims 25 million units have been sold worldwide, including both the original iPad and iPad 2.

Million matters

That's up from the 19.5 million figure the company revealed during its Q2 2011 financial announcement.

As such, that means Apple has sold a further 5.5 million units in 47 days, coming in at a rate of more than 117,000 units every 24 hours, or just shy of 820,000 units a week.

In total, more than 200 million iOS devices have leapt off the shelves since iPhone made its debut in 2007, with Apple expected to sell 8.1 million iPads in all in this quarter alone.
