The iPhone 4S has had RECORD breaking pre-sales. I mean HUGE!HUGE PRESALES!
They sold a record breaking 1 million phones in the first 24 hours.
I am going to assume that they sold more phones in a single day Friday than any day in history. I'll also assume that the iphone 4 and 3gs sold a negligible amount, but lets give them credit and say 100k phones.
So to summarize, Apple sold or pre-sold 1.1 million phones on Friday, which will be their biggest day of sales for the next 12 months.
Meanwhile on the android side of things, android is only activating almost one million phones per day.... every day of every week of every year, and growing at a staggering rate.... (link) *note this article is calculated on historic data, but we have ever reason to believe its true. Does this ever get mentioned on CBS? Probably not.
On average Apple is selling 250k iPhones per day, with 0.75% growth week over week. (link). Android is selling 800k devices per day with 4.4% growth week over week..
So far, Android sales have been cannibalizing blackberry sales. At some point Android sales will either slow down or start to cannibalize another competitor, and I bet that competitor is going to be Apple.
