Apple sells over 1.7 million iPhone 4 units in 3 days
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Corporate News, Handhelds,
We knew that over 600,000 iPhone 4 pre-orders came through before the device even hit the streets, but with the epically massive lines seen during the iPhone 4 launch, we had to wonder if Apple had topped one million sold. Well, this morning we got news that Apple blew way past one million—the company sold over 1,700,000 iPhone 4s in just the first three days of availability.
“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.”
The 1.7 million number is based on sales in the US, UK, Germany, France, and Japan. iPhone 4 will go on sale in 18 additional counties by the end of July.

Apple sells 600,000 iPhone 4 pre-orders on day one
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Corporate News, Handhelds,
Apple just announced that, in the first day of iPhone 4 pre-orders, when all was said and done they had 600,000 units reserved. All of a sudden it becomes crystal clear why people had problems placing an order for the new Apple smartphone, seemingly from the moment it went on sale all the way through…well…right now. Demand for the iPhone 4 is seemingly about ten times higher than what we saw for the iPhone 3GS. Both Apple and AT&T are sold out of day one pre-orders, so if you want to be certain that you’ll get an iPhone 4 on June 24th, you are going to want to line up at one of the other third-party retailers selling iPhone 4 at launch.
Apple sells 2 million iPads in 59 days
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Corporate News, Handhelds,
Any way you slice it, the fact that Apple has been able to put an iPad into the willing hands of 2 million customers in just under two months time is pretty amazing. For the record, the iPad is selling faster than even the iPhone did when it launched.
“Customers around the world are experiencing the magic of iPad, and seem to be loving it as much as we do,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We appreciate their patience, and are working hard to build enough iPads for everyone.”
We can definitely attest to the fact that iPads are hard to find at Apple Stores and Best Buys, but if you really need to get one, and money isn’t an issue, there are plenty of people buying and reselling them on eBay and Craigslist for ridiculous amounts of money. Just for reference, it took Apple 28 days to sell the first million iPads, and another 31 to sell the second million.
Items Du Jour: Miley Makes a Match, Janet Gets Short, and Angels Get Ads
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Hairstyles, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors, Sales,
- While her Wal-Mart lines aren’t faring well in sales, Miley Cyrus isn’t looking too worried these days, as she flashes her leopard print bra for the public while picking up some grub. While the matching prints are a bit tacky, it’s nice to see that she’s actually wearing a bra.
- Janet Jackson was spotted in London yesterday, having chopped off her locks. While I was never a fan of the Amber Rose trend, I can’t say that I’m hating Jackson’s look!
- I love Michelle Williams and I love Chanel, but when the pair were together for the after party of her film Blue Valentine‘s premiere, I fell out of love for what looked like Grandma’s satin bed sheet vengeance. Her new short hair style is killer, but not with the plain fabric wrap.

- Kate Moss have some fairly interesting ideas, but I do have to give it to her for innovation. The Topshop designer attended the unveiling of her latest collection in one of her own pieces, but she wore it backwards! She has this uncanny ability to wear anything so well that I doubt that anyone would’ve known had it not been in her line.

Nick Knight Adores Kate Moss
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Models, News, Sales,
Kate Moss is a fantastic model because she makes you want to buy the clothes she wears.
Renowned photographer Nick Knight - who has shot the supermodel on many occasions - has praised Moss for her ability to make any shoot work.
“I’ve known Kate for many years and she’s a fantastic model. She can put a little black T-shirt on and make it look like the exact T-shirt you want to buy this season. And that’s a real skill - she understands the narrative in clothing, and expresses that perfectly. That’s her great skill.”
No matter how many times Knight - whose exhibition Showstudio: Fashion Revolution is running at London’s Somerset House - has worked with Moss, he insists he never grows tired of photographing her because she’s always got something new to offer. “No, it’s never hard to come up with anything new for Kate. It’s a conversation that keeps on going. She’s always got something fascinating to say and I’m always very excited to meet her and to see her again. I never tire of photographing her.”
Knight has worked with most of the biggest names in fashion, including Alexander McQueen, Yohji Yamamoto, Calvin Klein and Christian Dior.
Quote of the Day: Christian Louboutin on His Slutty Customers
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, News, Rumors, Sales, Women, Footwear,
“There’s the sexy side, and then there is the Parisian side, which is complementary but also the opposite. If you are very chic you might not need an extra drop of chicness, so you go for the sexy side and buy my shoes because they are… tarty. We get very smart women coming in and buying a pair to feel a little more sluttish. And then, thank God, we also get the hookers coming in the store, who buy my shoes because they are superchic. You see, whatever you have, if you add a drop of the opposite, then it just becomes a little more sexy.”

Twilight Boosts Pale Make-Up Sales
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, News, Sales,
Twi-hards are having an effect on the beauty industry now, having set a new trend for pale make-up.
Sales of pale foundation have reportedly shot through the roof since the release of the latest film The Twilight Saga: New Moon and some cosmetic companies claim they’ve seen a 200 per cent rise in customers buying pale make-up. According to the online beauty shop FeelUnique.com, their current best-selling product is a pale pink illuminating powder by Bare Escentuals called Mineral Veil. L’Oreal have also seen their True Match powder in Rose Ivory increase in sales by 133 per cent.
Pale skin - which is now deemed a must-have look - has been seen on the face of celebrities in recent months. Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts recently launched a make-up range for paler skin. She said she’d created her range because she knew how difficult it could be to find the right sort of look with the products already out there.
“For years I felt like the ugly one in Girls Aloud. I was tall, skinny, with red hair and the whitest skin you’ve ever seen - standing next to four of the most gorgeous girls in Britain. Hopefully I can help a lot of girls out there to look their best.”
