Apple Announced 3M New iPads Sold During The First Weekend

Today Apple reported that it sold 3 million new iPads in the first three days, doubling its last year’s record of 1.5 million iPad 3s sold during the first weekend. Of course, these numbers do not include cellular iPad models, but Apple said that those models would ship in a few weeks in many countries later this year. CEO Tim Cook said:

“Customers around the world love the new iPad mini and fourth generation iPad. We set a new launch weekend record and practically sold out of iPad minis. We’re working hard to build more quickly to meet the incredible demand”.

Apple, however, did not say how many of the 3 million units sold were made up of iPad mini and iPad 4 models. In the press release, Apple also said it has already shipped many pre-orders for its new iPads, but some of them will be shipped later in November.
