Apple reports sales of 5.2 million iPhones in the last quarter

Are you kidding me?! The quarterly numbers came in for Apple a few days ago. While the numbers were good, what is noteworthy enough to write about is the number that jumps off the page in regards to iPhone sales. Last quarter, Apple is reporting that it sold 5.2 million iPhones!

That is a 626% growth from last year when Apple was reporting 717,000 iPhones being sold.

That said, these numbers don’t break the record of iPhones sold in a quarter. Q4 of last year reported almost 6.9 million iPhones sold which could mostly be due to the huge launch around the 3G. The latest numbers only include a few weeks of iPhone 3GS sales so I am eagerly waiting for the next quarter report as iPhone sales trend upwards and may soon catch up to sale numbers of the iPod!
