Apple has sold more than a million iPhone 3G S units in the first three days, reports the Wall Street Journal.
Apple also said Monday that six million customers downloaded its new iPhone 3.0 software in the first five days since its release. The iPhone 3G S went on sale Friday in the U.S. and seven other countries. Apple says their App Store now has more than 50,000 applications, with over one billion apps downloaded.
“Customers are voting and the iPhone is winning,” Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs said in a prepared statement. It was the first time he was quoted in a company statement since he went on medical leave in January.
On June 8th, Apple cut the price of its entry-level iPhone 3G in half, to $99, and rolled out the next-generation model for $199 to $299, looking to sustain the momentum for its popular smart phone amid the recession and renewed competition.
Software malls like the iPhone App Store, Android Market, Blackberry App World, Windows Mobile Marketplace, Palm App Catalog and Nokia Ovi Store are becoming shopping malls of the 21st century.
