t’s been just three days since the Apple iPhone 4S was made available and it is already smashing records when it comes to sales. After it was launched for pre-order last week, it managed to gain a total of one million orders placed in the first 24 hours,despite disappointment from critics, breaking the previous iPhone 4 record of 600,000 in total last year. Reports now show that the total number of iPhone 4S devices sold so far has reached a staggering 4 million.
This record makes it the fastest-selling iPhone ever; even the iPhone 4 only managed to sell 1.7 million in the first three days, it also means the device is on the verge of surpassing the record for fastest-selling gadget of all time, currently held by Microsoft’s Kinect, which famously sold over 8 million in the first 60 days of being on sale. All this despite a lack of enthusiasm and limited technological advancement compared to the previous models. READ THE FULL ARTICLE: ProductReviews
