New iPhone Sells Like Hot Cakes, 1 Million Sold In Three Days

The new iPhone is officially the hottest thing since sliced bread.

After releasing its latest model on Friday (July 11), Apple boast 1 million of their phones sold in just three days.

“IPhone 3G had a stunning opening weekend,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s chief executive, in a statement.

Despite the staggering numbers, it was bittersweet because users were plagued by software problems. All the new iPhones had to connect to Apple’s servers for activation, which quickly overloaded them. Lines filled stores as employees were unable to get the phones working.

Additionally, new software was released for the old iPhone, which required reactivation of those phones. Many owners of the older phone were left with unusable units.

Over 6 million units of the first-model iPhone have been sold since it launched in the U.S. a year ago. The company is eyeing a goal of 10 million sold by the end of 2008.
