One meeeeellion iPhones

To anybody who thinks that the iPhone price drop was a result of Apple being worried about whether they were selling enough, consider this: Apple today announced that they’d sold their one millionth iPhone, a mere 74 days after its release. During last week’s Beat Goes On event, Jobs said they were on track to sell their millionth iPhone in this quarter, as they’d predicted during the Q3 financial results conference call.

According to Apple’s press release, it took nearly two years for the iPod to reach this milestone. Jobs himself is quoted as saying “We can’t wait to get this revolutionary product into the hands of even more customers this holiday season.” Certainly, the price drop may have contributed to putting iPhone sales over the edge, but it seems likely to me that with twenty days left in September they would have hit the mark anyway.
