Ondrej Holzman The new iPad has only been on sale since last Friday, March 16, but Apple is already reporting record sales. In the first four days, the Californian company managed to sell three million iPads of the third generation…
Tim Cook already during today's conference with shareholders, at which he announced the upcoming dividend payout, hinted that sales of the new iPad are at a record high, and now everything in press release also confirmed by Apple.
"With three million units sold, the new iPad is a real hit, the biggest sales launch ever," said Philip Schiller, senior vice president of worldwide marketing. "Customers are loving the new iPad features, including the stunning Retina display, and we can't wait to ship iPad to more users this Friday."
The new iPad is currently sold in 12 countries, and on Friday, March 23, it will appear in stores in another 24 countries, including the Czech Republic.
It took only four days for the third-generation iPad to reach the milestone of three million units sold. For comparison, the first iPad was waiting for the same milestone 80 days, when he sold in two months 2 million pieces and within the first 28 days the first million. Apple surprisingly did not release numbers for the second iPad, but it is estimated that one million units were sold in the first weekend.
However, it should be noted that while the first and second generation iPads went on sale exclusively in the United States in the first days, Apple managed to release the new iPad directly to several other countries as well.
on Friday at 00:01 there will be lunch from http://store.apple.com/cz :) I look forward :)
won't pre-orders drive?
I don't know but probably not :/
They won't tell me on the line of the Czech Apple Store ;(
The biggest start? Didn't they just sell 4M iPhones in 3 days? Well, at least that's it, but the biggest launch of the iPad ;) it's quite a success ;)
4 days? Pre-sale started on 7.3. 16.3 was a sale at a reseller and retail store. So that's about 13 days of sale, I'd say :) And unfortunately, there will be no pre-orders. :(
Anyway, we have to try, be quick and hope that there is one left for us :(
