Defying sluggish sign-up procedures and a worldwide crash of its computerized activation system, Apple sold one million iPhone 3Gs in its first three days on the market, according to a company press release Monday morning.
“iPhone 3G had a stunning opening weekend,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “It took 74 days to sell the first one million original iPhones, so the new iPhone 3G is clearly off to a great start around the world.”
Although at least one analyst had predicted that Apple and its partners would sell a million units worldwide at launch, a survey of stores conducted by Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster put sales at less than half that many.
