Estimated 700,000+ iPhones sold over the weekend

Apple over the weekend sold more than 700,000 iPhones to rocket past analyst predictions and shatter AT&T's record by selling more iPhones in three days than Motorola's RAZR did in its first month. Apple's supply of iPhones depleted at more than half of its retail stores less than a week after the cellular handset hit shelves at 6:00 p.m. ET last Friday night. Buyers cleared out both Apple and AT&T stores in 10 states, with 95 of 164 stores selling out on Monday night, according to Bloomberg.
Apple sold around half a million iPhones the first weekend the device went on sale, one analyst firm has estimated.

Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster released a report Sunday night estimating that Apple sold about 500,000 units from 6 p.m. Friday through the close of business Sunday. Going into the weekend Munster thought Apple would sell 200,000 on Friday and Saturday.

Despite low supply at AT&T stores and activation issues, it appears that the iPhone era at Apple got off to a good start. Piper Jaffray said Apple had iPhones available in each one of its stores on Saturday, and in 84 percent of its stores Sunday.

Ninety-five percent of iPhone buyers in San Francisco, New York and Minneapolis (home to Piper Jaffray's offices) purchased the 8GB model, according to a survey conducted by the firm. About half were new customers for AT&T, at least among the 253 people surveyed for the report.

That's funny. I was under the impression that Apple only had 400,000 to sell with this first shipment. At least, that's what Apple said, but what do they know. And considering many places didn't sell out, the figure would be less than 400k.

Either way I'm sure Apple sold a lot and is probably pleased at the moment.

I'd say...

That means Apple sold close to $300,000,000 in cellphones over the weekend.

Average out some numbers with 2-year commitments, and this little device (over the weekend) has generated around 1 BILLION smackers... Again, in the first weekend.

Has there been a more successful consumer-level launch product?

^Windows 95?

Nope. :( They might have sold a million copies in 4 days, but if we are talking units, there are a lot of things to usurp this.

Didn't Halo 2 have over a million pre-orders? I'd say Win95 is close, though, if we don't include the 2-year commitment fees.

Crazy people or not, those numbers are insane.

If it was out in the UK then I would of gone and bought one...:D

After getting my hands on one saturday, it took a lot of willpower...not...to...buy... :cry:

I really want to wait for a few revisions and for my current plan to end. :)

I can't imagine the numbers if this were a worldwide or multiple-nation launch.

Motorola Razr? :unsure:

Just speaking of launch numbers. :)

Yeah when I touched a macbook pro I got my credit card out...sadly I had no money on it but it was just my instinct :shifty:

Engadget is reporting that the numbers might even be higher (525,000+) according to an LA Time's story:

Global Equities Research claims 525,000 iPhones were sold through Sunday.

Didn't the razr cost about the same price as the iPhone when it first came out? Plus that phone never did sell well when it first came out, it took awhile for the price to come down before people started getting on the Razr bandwagon.

I know it cost alot when it came out because I wanted one...they are still quite pricey...

And just think the numbers could be much higher if they would have just said yes to full 3rd party apps and not just web apps.

I know a number of people in the health profession that would have bought it if it had support for epocrates and the like without relying on the web or wifi which is just not reliable in many hospitals still.

Impressive numbers without a shadow of doubt. I guess Jobs estimation of capturing 1% of the market is well on course especially when the it hits other shores.

And bounces off the intractible walls of a market that likes their phones to actually be up to date... :p

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft offered a look at the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake at the Xbox Games Showcase today. The Halo Studios-developed title is not only getting a fully remade campaign, but also new content in the form of a fresh story arc featuring Sgt. Johnson. Fans don't have to wait long, either, as Halo: Campaign Evolved is releasing next month. The new content joining the original campaign consists of three new missions that have the name "Operation: METEORITE" attached to the full project. Aside from ground-based combat, space missions are also included here. These prequel missions will take players to events set before the original campaign, where the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson duo team up for a clandestine UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel. The studio says that the story for these missions was written in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi author Troy Denning. "Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history," adds Halo Studios. Today's new trailer showed off the game in action, including the new missions. Catch it below. Halo Campaign Evolved is coming out on July 28, 2026. It will be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 price tag. A digital premium edition will also be available for $69.99, offering five days of early access, extra in-game skins, and a digital art collection. A $199.99 physical Collector's Edition is also incoming, bringing a Master Chief statue, a Cortana chip, a Steelbook case, and more.
    • To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.

It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install.

Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.
