Apple has gradually approaching the 1 billion mark for iOS devices sold.

CEO Tim Cook announced at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday that the company has sold "well over" 800 million iOS devices to date. Cook then broke down the numbers by type of device: Apple has sold more than 500 million iPhones, 200 million iPad units and 100 million iPod Touch devices to date.

Perhaps more impressively, Cook revealed that Apple added 130 million new customers to Apple in the last 12 months — many of which, he said, switched from Android.

"They had sought a better experience and a better life," Cook joked of the Android users who switched to iOS.

Cook also took some glee in pointing out that the vast majority of iOS users (89%) are now using the latest operating system, which is not the case with Android users.
