Apple Announces iPhone 4 Sales of 1.7 Million, Most Successful Product
Launch Ever
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
Apple today announced sales of over 1.7 million iPhone 4s through
Saturday, covering
just the first three days of sales.

Apple today announced that it has sold over 1.7 million of its
iPhone 4
through Saturday, June 26, just three days after its launch on June
24.
The new iPhone 4 features FaceTime, which makes video calling as
easy as one tap, and Apple's new Retina display, the highest
resolution
display ever built into a phone, resulting in stunning text, images
and
video.

"This is the most successful product launch in Apple's history,"
said
Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Even so, we apologize to those customers
who were turned away because we did not have enough supply."

Saturday marked the end of Apple's third fiscal quarter (and second
calendar quarter),
and thus sales from Sunday forward will be included in Apple's next
fiscal quarter, due
to end in late September.

For both the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G, Apple announced sales of over one
million
for their respective launch weekends. It took 74 days for the original
iPhone to move
one million units.

Apple continues to note that iPhone 4 will move beyond the initial launch
countries of
the United States, UK, France, Germany, and Japan into an additional 18
countries
by the end of July: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark,
Finland, Hong
Kong, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand,
Singapore,
South Korea, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

I’m not patiently waiting, I’m actively competing.
Unfortunately, it turns out the only prize for
most words on Usenet is flames.

Is it an on-line compliment to call someone a Net Wit ?

Unfortunately there hasn't been any competitions yet here in New Zealand for
the iPhone 4 ... the phone isn't due here until later in July. :-(

There is a competition running to win an "3G iPhone, but you have to buy
stuff I don't want for that. There was also a competition to win an iPad
(probably just the cheapest wi-fi one) which closed yesterday and I have
been entering that every day since the rules said that was allowed. :-)
