Apple sells one millionth iPhone
Apple said Monday that it sold its one millionth iPhone yesterday, just 74 days after its introduction on June 29.“One million iPhones in 74 days -- it took almost two years to achieve this milestone with iPod,” said Apple chief executive Steve Jobs. “We can’t wait to get this revolutionary product into the hands of even more customers this holiday season.”
Apple, which slashed the price of the handset by $200 last Wednesday, has said it hopes to sell 10 million units by the end of 2008.

I'd be curious, how many were bought by residents outside of the USA and how many are actually activated with AT&T. Wonder how many of those were subsequently unlocked and are being used with other SIM cards ?
PS: As soon as there is a viable software unlock (don't know about this iphonesimfree.com story), I will consider going to the US to buy a $399 phone and use in Canada on Rogers. Tired of waiting for ROgers and Apple to come up with a deal.

I'm going to take a wild guess here and guess that less than 1% of phones were bought for that purpose, maybe even less.

No doubt.
Also, with these numbers coming out so close after the price drop, and there being a day or two to get the numbers resolved before they could report them, it proves that phone sales were on track.
While the drop sold more phones, I'd be willing to bet that the millionth would have been sold by the end of this week, or at the very latest, early next, even without the price drop.

10 million in a year and a half? that seems like an awful lot...
10 million phones? Sounds doable to me, especially if they go hit up other countries (just think, this was just the states' opening).

Yep. If Rogers (or a 3G version from Telus!!) doesn't appear by Nov. $399USD it is.
