The past few months have been quite busy for Apple. With iPhone 5 announced a month ago, and the iPad mini and iPad 4 a few days ago, it’s hard to keep track of so many devices coming out of Palo Alto at such pace. Apple devices have historically been well received by customers. With the iPad mini the trend is all set to continue. 1.5 million iPad Minis were forecasted to be sold over the launch weekend. Now we have some concrete figures.
According to figures just announced, Apple has managed to sell 3 million new iPads in just three days. That is twice the 1.5 million iPad 3 they managed to sell back in June. These 3 million new iPads do not yet include the cellular version and just consists of WiFi only models. The cellular version will be available in coming weeks. Apple is not specifying how many iPad minis and iPad 4 are part of this 3 million figure. With the supply issues plaguing the iPad mini, it’s safe to assume its the bulk of the 3 million sold.
With the cellular model making its way in the coming weeks, this 3 million figure will increase further. The iPad mini might be more expensive than competitive tablets, but it’s not stopping people from buying one.
