The official numbers are in, and it looks like Apple, Inc. managed to push out 1.7 million iPhone 4s from Thursday the 24th through this Saturday the 26th. Pretty impressive numbers coming out of Cupertino. We’ve got the official press release after the bump.

CUPERTINO, California-June 28, 2010-Apple® today announced that it has sold over 1.7 million of its iPhone® 4 through Saturday, June 26, just three days after its launch on June 24. The new iPhone 4 features FaceTime®, which makes video calling as easy as one tap, and Apple’s new Retina display, the highest resolution display ever built into a phone, resulting in stunning text, images and video.

“This is the most successful product launch in Apple’s history,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “Even so, we apologize to those customers who were turned away because we did not have enough supply.”

iPhone 4 also features a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, HD 720p video recording, Apple’s A4 processor, a 3-axis gyro and up to 40 percent longer talk time-in a beautiful all-new design of glass and stainless steel that is the thinnest smartphone in the world.

iPhone 4 comes with iOS 4, the newest version of the world’s most advanced mobile operating system, which features Multitasking, Folders, enhanced Mail, deeper Enterprise support and Apple’s new iAd mobile advertising platform.

Pricing & Availability iPhone 4 is available in the US for a suggested retail price of $199 (US)* for the 16GB model and $299 (US) for the 32GB model in both Apple and AT&T’s retail and online stores, Best Buy, Radio Shack and Wal-Mart stores. iPhone 4 is also available in the UK, France, Germany and Japan and will be available in an additional 18 countries by the end of July-Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

    @Roman,

    I think he meant that if the person isn’t a “techie” then the person doesn’t know what they’re buying. Pretty much describing two sets of customers.

    Impressive? Yes absolutely. Do I want an iPhone? No, I never pick a carrier based on a particular phone. Will I buy an iPhone when it comes to my carrier? No but I do know some of my family/friends would if it came to their carrier.

    I don’t endorse any Apple products. I personally will celebrate the day they go under, when Jobs kicks the bucket.

    1.7 million devices sold, 1.5 million were probably upgrades from people who had been holding onto a older iphone.. Apple seem to sell lots of units but they still sell way less than other manufactures.

    We run a company called SellYourCell.com and buy used cell phones. Not surprisingly about half of the phones we are receiving now are iPhones I assume from people upgrading to the iPhone 4. I say not surprising but we have never seen this kind of volume driven by one phone before. This did not happen with the release of iPhone 3Gs. If Verizon starts marketing the iPhone in 2011 I assume we will see a flood of people selling us their AT&T iPhones. It is pretty amazing.

    I’m curious to see the statistics for the number of returned iPhone 4s, due to all the problems.
