Apple announced during its first quarter earnings conference call the number of iPhone, iPod touch and iPad devices through the December quarter hit the 160 million mark. Peter Oppenheimer, the company's CFO, revealed the figure on Tuesday during his conference call remarks.
The quarter's iPhone sales helped boost the number of iOS devices in the wild with some 16.2 million units sold. In comparison, the same quarter last year saw 8.7 million iPhones sold.
