40m iPads have been sold, raking in $20.3bn in revenue for Apple, says Enders, will 11m in the last quarter.
In contrast, rival companies have sold around 4m.
Meanwhile, the company sold 12m iPhones this year in comparison to 40m sold leading up to September 2010, while more Androids were sold, with Google apparently activating 150, in the last year, and 55m in the last quarter.
4M Apple iPhone 4s were sold in just three days however, making $2.6bn, in comparison to Google’s annual mobile revenue of $2.5bn.
