1.7 Million iPhone 4s Sold In Three Days
June 28th, 2010
From launch day of June 24 through Saturday June 26, Apple has sold 1.7 million iPhones, the company has just announced.
I assume this number takes into account pre-orders and early deliveries too.
Even though the iPhone 4 has been beset with troubles from the proximity sensor and new antennae, it still seems they can barely keep them on the shelves.
Full press release follows:
iPhone 4 Sales Top 1.7 Million
CUPERTINO, Calif., June 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — 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.

“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.”
iPhone 4 also features a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, HD 720p video recording, Apple’s A4 processor, a 3-axis gyro and up to 40 percent longer talk time–in a beautiful all-new design of glass and stainless steel that is the thinnest smartphone in the world.
