It’s quite close! They sold nearly 136 million iPhones last year – http://www.statista.com/statistics/12743/worldwide-apple-iphone-sales-since-3rd-quarter-2007/
and the estimated number of births this year will be just over 131 million – http://www.wholesomewords.org/missions/greatc.html

Yes, 🙂

Though actually, given that Samsung sell more Android phones than Apple do iPhones, the overall number of smartphones per head of population must be rising very fast…

Got Something To Say:

    will be preserved.
    
    Markdown is turned off in code blocks:

To create not a block, but an inline code span, use backticks: 

Here is some inline `code`.
