Apple has announced that sales of the iPhone 4S topped four million in the first weekend of availability.
When the iPhone 4S hit pre-order status, Apple wasted no time in announcing that it was the most pre-ordered Apple product ever, and broke the previous record set by the iPhone 4. Now, it looks like the iPhone 4S is continuing to be a record breaker. Apple on Monday morning announced that it in its first weekend of official availability, the phone clocked in four million sales.
"iPhone 4S is off to a great start with more than four million sold in its first weekend—the most ever for a phone and more than double the iPhone 4 launch during its first three days," said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. "iPhone 4S is a hit with customers around the world, and together with iOS 5 and iCloud, is the best iPhone ever."
iPhone 4S is currently only available in seven countries (the U.S., Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and the UK). However, Apple is preparing to launch it in 22 more by October 28. By the time the Friday after next rolls around, customers in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland will also be preparing to purchase the iPhone 4S.
Apple also announced that more than 25 million iOS users have upgraded to iOS 5, the latest build of Apple's mobile operating system, and more than 20 million customers have signed up for iCloud.
