It's quite close! They sold nearly 136 million iPhones last year - http://www.statista.com/statistics/12743/worldwide-apple-iphone-sales-since-3rd-quarter-2007/ and the estimated number of births this year will be just over 131 million - http://www.wholesomewords.org/missions/greatc.html

However, people last three score years and ten whereas iPhones will be lucky to do the ten :-)

Yes, :-) Though actually, given that Samsung sell more Android phones than Apple do iPhones, the overall number of smartphones per head of population must be rising very fast...
