Apple moves 1 million iPhones in 3 days. WOW!
Apple said that it has sold 1 million iPhones over Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Given the activation hurdles, Apple’s tally (statement) is stunning and well ahead of what Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster–one of the more bullish Apple followers out there–predicted. Munster estimated that Apple would hit the 1 million mark later this month. Apple also said 10 million applications were downloaded from its App Store (statement).
Jason O’Grady has all the scorekeeping on the rollout problems, AT&T coverage and other items. All blog posts and galleries on the iPhone are also available.
For comparison’s sake the first iPhone took 74 days to sell 1 million iPhones. The big reason for the jump is that this iPhone rollout is global with the exception of France, which will see iPhones July 17. Munster estimated that the Apple sold 425,000 iPhone 3G devices over Friday, Saturday and Sunday. He reckoned that if Apple sold 41,000 a day that Apple would hit 1 million iPhones by July 28.
