First Million iPhone 3Gs: Global Breakdown & Analysis
Author: Andrew Robinowitz | Posted under: NewsTags: apple, att, carrier, iphone 3g
Goldman Sachs released some stats last week about the first million 3G iPhones sold. The folks over at Medialets, an analytics & ad firm for iPhone apps, broke down the figures into some informative graphical displays (aka bar graphs).
It appears that 60% of those first million 3Gs, sold over just 3 days of the iPhone launch weekend, were purchased in the United States. Quite impressive when you take into account the stock shortages that plagued many AT&T and Apple locations.
The top 5 selling countries (US, Japan, Germany, France, Spain & UK) accounted for over 85% (861,000) of the sales. That means the remaining 139,000 iPhones were sold throughout the other 16 countries that participated in the release.
With its exclusive U.S. agreement, it’s no shock that AT&T leads the carrier distribution breakdown. Good thing they reportedly had their no-AT&T-no-iPhone deal with Apple extended until 2010. The figures decline sharply after that, with 2nd and 3rd place T-Mobile and Orange taking 89k and 77k respectively.
Though these figures only represent one weekend of 3G sales, it appears the iPhone frenzy has no end in sight. Techcrunch has reported that Foxconn, the Taiwanese electronics company that produces the iPhone 3G, has been asked to bump production up to 800,000 units per week.
Take all this into account, sprinkle in 6M 1st gen iPhones sold, and believe that Jobs’ prediction of selling 10M units by the end of 2008 was a conservative estimate.
