Apple sold its 1 millionth iPhone on Sunday, three weeks ahead of when it said it would and less than a week after slashing the price of the iconic device by a third, the company said Monday.

The milestone came 74 days after the company launched the device, its first cell phone. And it came earlier than previously predicted; Apple officials had forecast in July that iPhone sales would hit the 1 million mark by the end of this month.

"It took almost two years to achieve this milestone with iPod," company CEO Steve Jobs noted in a statement.

At a press event last week, Jobs announced that Apple was discontinuing a 4-gigabyte version of the iPhone and dropping the price of its 8-gigabyte version to $399 from $599. The company hoped to boost sales of the device over the holidays, Jobs said.

The move followed questions about demand for the iPhone. Sales from the initial weekend were running at a rate that was below some of the wilder estimates on Wall Street. And last week, consumer data from research firm iSuppli suggested that sales of the iPhone fell off sharply in July and were not on pace then to meet Apple's 1 million target.



Wow. "Creating your reality" may not work for Republicans, but it sure works for Stevey. Maybe that's because he's walked the walk and paid his dues in real time.
