Eye-watering funds have been generated in five years.
Apple's iPhone was launched on June 29th 2007, and new data from Strategy Analytics says that the family of five – iPhone, 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S – is responsible for revenues of $150 billion.
Meanwhile, more than 250 million iPhones have been shipped in the device's five year existence on the market.
Neil Mawston, executive director at Strategy Analytics, said: "The iPhone portfolio has become a huge generator of cash and profit for Apple and it reaches its fifth birthday at the top of its game.
"However, there are emerging signs that the iPhone’s next five years could get tougher. Some mobile operators are becoming concerned about the high level of subsidies they spend on the iPhone, while Samsung is expanding its popular Galaxy portfolio and providing Apple with more credible competition."
