One million iPhones sold and counting
The iPhone continues to set records. This time it has reached the one million sales marker and within the time scale predicted by Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO.
Apple’s baby was released on June 29, just 75 days ago, and in that time it has sold more units than Apple sold iPods in the first two years of their being on sale.
“We can’t wait to get this revolutionary product into the hands of even more customers this holiday season,” said Steve Jobs.
Just a few days ago Apple slashed a couple of hundred dollars off the price of the iPhone in a move that was seen by some as weakness, but by others as brilliant marketing. It certainly was not seen in a favourable light by the almost one million early adopters, that was until Jobs announced that they would all receive a credit for the difference.
Apple declined to speculate on whether the price cut had fuelled a late rush for iPhones and whether or not that price cut had been designed to help Apple reach its targets.
