New York - Apple sold about 525 000 iPhones at Apple and AT&T stores in the first weekend since its June 29 launch, the Los Angeles Times reported on Monday, citing an analyst.
Half of the Apple stores on the US West Coast sold out of
the devices on the first day, the report said, citing analyst
Trip Chowdhry of Global Equities Research in San Francisco.
Chowdhry could not immediately be reached for comment. Apple
and AT&T were not immediately available.
Piper Jaffray also estimated first-weekend sales of the
iPhone at about 500 000, according to cnet.com.
The iPhone, which combines a phone, web browser and a music
player, went on sale on Friday.
About two percent of buyers have experienced delays in activating their service, a source said on Sunday.
