Apple has just announced it has broken the one million mark on iPhones sold. The device has received heaps of critical and consumer praise since its debut in late June. Despite a high price tag, and some isolated reports of issues with the touch screen, consumers have flocked to the device, the first multi touch enabled product generally available.
It only took seventy four days to cross the milestone, a milestone that took over 2 years for the iPod to reach. With the recent price cuts, and reports that an overseas launch is due in November, far more iPhones should be sold by years end.
Various outlets have reported that the number of iPhones Apple sells does not necessarily equal the number actually in use, as Apple sells many of the the devices direct to AT&T, which then passes them on the consumers. While it is unlikely that AT&T has a huge stockpile of unsold iPhones, it still may be some time until there are one million actual users of the phone.
