Remember just about two weeks ago, when some naysayers were sure that the iPhone 4S wasn’t going to sell because it wasn’t a totally new design and wasn’t that different from the iPhone 4? As you learned on TUAW this morning, Apple sold four million of the new phones over the weekend. Federico Vittici over at MacStories.net created a nice visual representation of just how successful the launch of the iPhone 4S really was.
How good a weekend was it? The iPhone 4S sold more units during its launch — four million — than the previous device launches put together. Those kind of figures make me wonder if part of the “delay” in the launch of the iPhone 4S was due to Apple simply trying to manufacture enough of the devices to be able to meet demand for the first couple of months.
If the number of Siri-related tweets over the weekend is any indication, Apple has a real winner on its hands with the iPhone 4S.
