There is a huge error in the introduction: "Between mid-2010 and mid-2011, Apple sold a little more than 100 million iPads, all assembled in China" Well... No

There is a huge error in the introduction:
"Between mid-2010 and mid-2011, Apple sold a little more than 100 million iPads, all assembled in China"
Well... No.
Apple started selling the iPad in April 2010 (Fiscal Q3 2010).
Between mid-2010 and mid-2011, during five fiscal quarters (Q32010 + Q42010 + Q12011 + Q22011 + Q32011), Apple sold a total of 28.73 million iPads.
That's a really gross mistake, it took me two minutes to get the official info from Apple's investors website.
I'm surprised nobody spotted that during editing.
Edit: the error is probably related to the announcement of 100 million iPhones sold to date during the iPad 2 launch event in 2011.
From Wikipedia (well sourced content): "On March 2, 2011, at the iPad 2 launch event, Apple announced that they had sold 100 million iPhones worldwide"
