Apple Sold 270,000 iPhones in First 30 Hours

Mixed in with Apple's Financial Results, Apple announced that they sold 270,000 iPhones in the first 30 hours of iPhone sales.

The number was included with their financial results product breakdown and vaguely listed as 270,000 "iPhones and Related Products and Services".

Despite this wording, during the conference call, Peter Oppenheimer clearly states that Apple sold 270,000 iPhones in the first 30 hours of sales.

270,000 phones in 30 hours is excellent. It has been weeks since then so I am sure they have probably sold around 500,000 or more by this point.

270,000 for the first 1.5 days of availability is most excellent. I can't wait to hear what that number will be for the current quarter! Wahoo!!!!

Stock up 7 points after hours at 5:20pm!! And it is deserved! It is so funny that 400 posts were on that 146k number. Many calling the iPhone a failure:):rolleyes::rolleyes: WRONG!!!!!

The 270,000 sold is indeed accurate. A very impressive debut indeed. I still say AT&T had a lot more initial activation issues than they will ever admit to, but at least Apple apologized for those problems during the conference call.

Well actually if you consider store hours it is over 4 per second.

Wow, look at the stock go. Up over $2 in trading today, another $2 in after hours trading before the results; down almost $3 after the results came out; now back up $6. Busy day...:)

This means that Apple easily cleared 350k units (likely closer to 400k, if not more) the first week and with a likely decent online store order list waiting on supplies. Personally I would qualify shipping a million in one quarter (+30 hours) a success for the iPhone (likely Apple will beat the estimate given their general under promise over deliver style of statements).
