Apple PR has announced that:

it has sold over one million iPhone™ 3GS models through Sunday, June 21, the third day after its launch. In addition, six million customers have downloaded the new iPhone 3.0 software in the first five days since its release.

That’s a good number of units for the device equivalent of another sequel release, isn’t it? It’s also enough to get Steve Jobs back up in the quoting chair:

“Customers are voting and the iPhone is winning,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “With over 50,000 applications available from Apple’s revolutionary App Store, iPhone momentum is stronger than ever.”

Nice to see that, and congrats to Apple on some impressive numbers.

1 Million iPhone 3G S, and 6 Million iPhone 3.0 Downloads Served

3 days. That’s how long it took Apple and their carrier-partners to sell one million iPhone 3Gs. Says Apple CEO Steve Jobs:

“iPhone 3G had a stunning opening weekend. It took 74 days to sell the first one million original iPhones, so the new iPhone 3G is clearly off to a great start around the world.”

Almost 25 times faster. Server crash-induced delays not withstanding, other manufacturers — other carriers — must be having a sobering Monday morning. (Especially with it taking 6 months for Palm sell as many uber-cheap Centros…)
