Apple iPhone on market for 200 days - sells 4 million units worldwide

Apple sells 4 million iPhones globally in first 200 days of salesWe’ve been waiting on Steve to drop the iPhone-sales-bomb on us for quite some time, and with his keynote today at Macworld, we finally have some solid sales figures to quote. On the 200th day of sales of the Apple iPhone, Steve Jobs announced that the Cupertino geeks have moved something like 4 million units worldwide - that’s an average of about 20,000 iPhones every day!

In it’s first quarter in the US market, the iPhone managed to clinch the No. 2 spot among US smartphones - the iPhone’s 19.5% US smartphone market share puts it second only to RIM’s BlackBerry line of push-email-savvy handsets.

While the announcement falls a bit short of rumors that led us to expect global-sales figures of about 5 million units, the fact that the iPhone has already hit the 4 million-mark is no less impressive.

    This was probably one of the few bits of information that didn’t make me yawn about the presentation today. 4 million is quite impressive, and it doesn’t look like Apple will stop moving any phones any time in the near future. Just think ho wmany more phones they would release if they would just sell a no-contract option as well - -
