Over One Million iPhone 3GS Models Sold on Launch Weekend
Apple announced today that the company has sold over 1 million iPhone 3G S models over this past weekend. The press release notably includes a quote from Steve Jobs:
"Customers are voting and the iPhone is winning," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "With over 50,000 applications available from Apple's revolutionary App Store, iPhone momentum is stronger than ever."
The sales figures match those of last year's iPhone 3G launch weekend sales numbers. Apple also reports that six million customers have downloaded the new iPhone 3.0 software which works on the existing 40 million iPhone and iPod touch models.Top Rated Comments

I believe a lot of the sales were via pre-orders from Apple and AT&T which was a brilliant way to cut down on lines at local stores for the two companies. I remember reading something about the CEO of AT&T being quoted this week as saying they had sold a few hundred thousand via pre-order alone and I’m sure Apple’s pre-orders probably double or tripled that.

And on the same weekend that RIM announced it lost subscribers. I love watching a good competition. Has Palm announced any numbers yet?

what this article is missing is the fact that its with fewer countries than last year. apple is doing a staged rollout and started with 8 countries vs. 22 last year - so that means over a million in a down economy is truly amazing.

Wow. Those are some pretty awesome numbers.
If memory serves, Apple wanted to sell 10 million cell phones in 1 year when the original iPhone was released.
A couple years later and they hit 1/10 of that in a weekend. :)
I am really curious to see how this version sells in Japan. My guess is that it will be much better than the prior versions.
