Apple sells 4 million iPhone 4S units in first weekend

From CNET News.com: Apple said that it sold 4 million iPhone 4S units worldwide between Friday and Sunday. According to Apple senior vice president for worldwide product marketing, Phil Schiller, that figure is "more than double the iPhone 4 launch during its first three days."

That said, it's worth noting that at least in the U.S., the iPhone 4S had a bit of an advantage over the iPhone 4. Last year, when Apple shipped the iPhone 4, the device was available only to AT&T customers. The device then came to Verizon Wireless earlier this year and Sprint last week. The iPhone 4S, however, launched with availability on Sprint's and Verizon's networks, in addition to AT&T's service.

Aside from the iPhone 4S, Apple also said that 25 million users have already downloaded its new mobile operating system version, iOS 5, and 20 million folks have signed up for iCloud.
