iPhone Sells 1.5 Million Units in 1st Day?

Apple may have sold 1.5 million iPhone 4s in the first day. The 1.5 million figure comes from Yair Reiner of Oppenheimer, who notes that this kind of guessing has “become something of a national sport.” His figures do seem solid and the math really isn’t that complex. We know that Apple revealed some 600,000 iPhones had been pre-ordered in the U.S., a figure boosted by 100,000 non-reserved units in Apple stores across the U.S. during yesterday’s first sales. If 50,000 went through the cash registers at Best Buy too, that brings the U.S. sales total to 750,000. Based on the fact that over 50% of iPhones are found overseas nowadays, Reiner then (conservatively) multiplied this figure by two. This gives a guesstimated sales total of 1.5 million units.
