Apple claims 1 million iPhone 3G S phones sold first weekend
Apple announced today that it sold one million iPhone 3G S phones through Sunday, three days after the device launched, matching last year's sales mark of the iPhone 3G.
"Customers are voting and the iPhone is winning, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said in a statement. "iPhone momentum is stronger than ever.
The iPhone 3G S sales mark claimed by Apple is significantly higher than analysts' estimates before the weekend. Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray, for example, had pegged sales at 500,000, then upped his estimate early Monday -- before Apple announced its number -- to 750,000.
