>Apple sold more than 2.2 billion iPhones and more than 360 million iPads before they stopped making numbers public.

>Say for every second iPhone or iPad sold, a user bought just one extra Apple Lightning cable for $19 which probably costs Apple around $1 (if not less) to make.

>That’s give or take $43.5B on Lightning cable sales alone.

I don't follow, `(2.2B + 360M) / 2 * 18` is not 43.5B.



> a user bought just one extra Apple Lightning cable for $19

I've bought a lot of Lightning cables over the last decade and I'd say that 90%+ of them were under $15.
