iPhone 4S was snapped up like hot cakes during the debut weekend and, according to Apple, it sold 4 million units of the latest smartphone in the first three days after it went on sale on Oct. 14. From June 24-26 in 2010, when iPhone 4 went on sale, Apple sold 1.7 million units during the first three days.
iPhone 4S, the latest iPhone which was unveiled on Oct. 4, only one day before Apple's co-founder Steve Jobs passed away, initially disappointed the fans for they had been expecting the fully redesigned and re-engineered iPhone 5.
When the pre-orders of iPhone 4S went live on Oct. 7, one million units were sold out within the first 24 hours, surpassing the previous single day pre-order record of 600,000 held by iPhone 4 in 2010.
The latest iPhone will be available in 22 more countries by the end of October and more than 70 countries by the end of the year.
