Apple have sold 3 million iPhones.

This does not mean that 3 million people have bought iPhones. It just means that Apple have managed to transfer ownership of 3 million of them to someone else... Like carphonewarehouse etc. Maybe they should rename themselves to iPhonewarehouse.

Knowing sales spin, the 3 million probably includes pre-orders too... Given the short rationing mentioned in Inq reports, I wouldn't be surprised if Apple hadn't even made 3 million of them at this point!

Correction to me previous comment, it's 1 million in 3 days, not 3 million!
