Apple: Initial iPhone 4S Sales Break Another Record

Cupertino, Calif. – Consumers
purchased more than 4 million iPhone 4S smartphones in their first three days
on sale in multiple countries, or more than twice as many previous-generation
iPhone 4 models purchased in their first three days of its availability, Apple
said.

The iPhone 4S became available
Friday, Oct. 14, in the U.S., Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and the
U.K.  It goes on sale Oct. 28 in 22 more
countries.

More iPhones 4S models were sold
in their first three days than any other phone, claimed Philip Schiller,
Apple’s worldwide product marketing senior VP.

For its part, Sprint reported on
Friday, the first day that it began selling the iPhone 4S and the previous-generation
iPhone 4, sales of both models combined exceeded expectations. In addition, the
carrier said it enjoyed its best-ever day of sales though its retail, web and
telesales channels for “a device family in Sprint history.”

“The response to this device by
current and new customers has surpassed our expectations and validates our
customers’ desire for a truly unlimited data pricing plan,” said Sprint product
chief Fared Adib.

As of 4:30 p.m. Friday, AT&T
said it had already activated a record number of iPhones and was on track to
double its previous record for iPhone activations in a single day.
