iPhone 4: 1.7 Million Sold In the First Three Days

Although predictions were that Apple would sell 1.5 million phones on release day, 1.7 million in three days is still a shocking number. Especially in comparison to the 8 million iPhones that were sold in the second quarter of 2010.

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