20% more than the iPhone 4S managed. (iPhone 3GS: 1,000,000 orders, iPhone 4: 1.7 million, 4S: 4,000,000 sales (all first 3 days after release)) After filtering out the inevitable Apple PR hyperbole, I can't work out whether this is good (largest iPhone numbers ever in 3 days after release!) or bad (terrible fall off in growth rate of 3-day iPhone sales after release!). Take your pick :)
- kumarm 14y agoRemember projections of worst case scenario being 5Million by analysts? You will see the same analysts saying today Pre Orders blew their mind.
- thomholwerda 14y agoNormalised by the number of countries it was available in, it didn't do any better than the 4S (from @asymco). http://twitpic.com/axx0ki http://twitpic.com/axx0ki
- swighton 14y agoThat's not a fair comparison. Its only fair if pre-orders are uniform across countries. Adding a bunch of smaller countries with low volume would drag the number way down. A much more meaningful comparison would be pre-orders in a single major market, e.g. the US.
- lookingsideways 14y agoTalking to some friends who work in phone shops here in the UK it's pretty apparent the stock just isn't available. There haven't been enough phones to cover pre-orders let alone the constant stream of people coming in every day asking if they have any iPhone 5s available.
