Apple Sells 1.7 Million iPhone 4 Units In First 3 days

The previously mentioned 600,000 pre-orders turned into 1.7 million iPhone 4 sales through this past Saturday. The transactions from Sunday still haven't been tallied up as of yet. This makes the previously phenomenal 1 million units sold for the iPhone 3GS look like nothing and pretty much leaves any other launch in the mobile world seem like a joke comparatively. Ironically it is one of the most controversial launches as well with all the issues going on, mainly the antenna issue (the supposed patch still awaits) which people are getting infuriated by, but that isn't stopping the sales of the newest iteration of the iPhone. Check out the press release below:

iPhone 4 Sales Top 1.7 Million

CUPERTINO, California-June 28, 2010-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.
