Apple is one of the biggest companies in the world, and with the release of the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus it is only going to get bigger.

With a forecasted 100m iPhones to be sold in the second half of 2014 alone and profits continuing to rise, the technology company’s revenue is expected to eclipse USD 180bn next year, reports British daily The Independent.

Which means Apple is richer than these countries with green shade in this map:

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the measure of all goods and services produced by all sectors of a country’s economy in a single year.

The data in this map is taken from the nominal GDP of each country - that means it is calculated according to currency exchange rates to the US dollar and can therefore fluctuate from year to year. This map uses data from 2012.
