Despite activation woes and generally glum economic news that accompanied its launch, Apple’s 3G iPhone put the original to shame this weekend by selling 1 million units in just three days. The company released its official figures on Monday.
“iPhone 3G had a stunning opening weekend,” said Apple CEO Steve Jobs, in a statement. “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.”
