> In 2023, Apple shipped 234.6 million iPhones, capturing 20.1% market share and growing 3.7% year over year, according to IDC data. [0]
So, probably not 525.6 million iOS devices a year, but safe to assume it's going to be 300+ million for 2025.
35k devices an hour, give or take.

Apple has more devices than iPhones, so the OPs numbers are not unbelievable
