The Investor Village engineers spent a month on collecting IMEI numbers of first-gen and second-gen iPhones. The results are available in this table. The research was organized to find out, how many iPhones were sold.
IMEI is a abbreviator for International Mobile Equipment Identifier, a unique for every phone 15-digits number, that completely identifies every mobile, manufactured in a world. It is written into phone on a factory and is used by GSM-operators in identification purposes. They can simply identify using IMEI, where your stolen mobile was put online, even if your own SIM-card was replaced.
Guys from Ars Techica made a table out of this boring numbers.
From the beginning of 2008 there were 2 420 000 iPhone GSM and 5 649 000 iPhone 3G sold, that completes 8 069 000 different iPhones. If we will add this number to 3 704 000 iPhones that were sold in 2007, we’ll get an amazing 11 773 000 iPhones, living their lives in their owner pockets all over the world at the moment.
