Apple sells one million new iPhones over the weekend

Even in a down economy, people still appear to like Apple’s iPhone.

The company’s new iPhone 3GS model debuted last weekend, for $199 or $299, and Apple reports it sold one million of them in the first three days. It also said that six million customers downloaded the new iPhone 3.0 software for older iPhones in the first five days of its release.

The Palm Pre, in comparison, sold about 100,000 in its first weekend.
