Apple sold 1 million iPhones over the 1st weekend and 10 million downloads from Apple Store

Apple sold 1 million of its new 3G iPhones over the weekend, with iPhone and iPod users also downloading more than 10 million applications from the fledgling App Store . Apple launched the new version of the iPhone in 21 countries on July 11 and had previously took 74 days to sell 1 million of the first version of the iPhone.

This sales figure isnt going to stop here as the number is going to increase further when Apple rolls out the iPhone in 70 countries over the next few months. Piper Jaffray estimates Apple will sell 4.1 million iPhones in the current quarter, and sales could reach 45 million units in 2009.

This is definitely a great start for the iPhone and lets see whether it will hit 45 million units in 2009.
