Apple jumps past Motorola to become biggest US phone makerThe company has since worked to focus on higher end smartphones like the Android-based Milestone, sold by Verizon as the Droid. Despite lots of optimism for Android, Motorola only sold 2.3 million smartphones out of the 8.5 million phones it sold in the quarter, compared against Apple's all-smartphone sales of 8.8 million iPhones (and additional millions of iPod touch devices).
Without considering iPod touch sales, Apple sold 3.8 times as many iPhones as the Motorola Droid in the first quarter.
