There are 10's of thousands of idevices that are not longer in use either because they were broken, lost, damaged stolen, or people got new phones and never did anything with their old phones. There are about 70,000,000 actual users (possibly less). Just want to make sure your readers are not mislead. <3!</p> There were 100,000,000 devices sold, not 100,000,000 devices out being used.
