iPhone 3G S outsells original iPhone 3G by lunchtime

Manoj Solanki, Friday June 19, 2009 - 2:43 PM

O2 has said that sales of the iPhone 3G S on launch day have beaten those of the original iPhone 3G.

According to reports and messages from those who were out buying the 3 GS, there didn’t appear to be any large queues and sales appeared slow, but O2 says by lunchtime they’d sold more than the iPhone 3G did on its launch day last year.  The mobile operator expects to sell 50% more iPhone 3G S devices by the close of business today.

The online site also saw a 150% increase in traffic.

The new iPhone includes features such as more memory, video recording, a new cut, copy & paste function and voice control for playing music and making calls.  It also has HSDPA technology, allowing surfing at broadband speeds up to 7.2Mbps (however currently limited by O2’s 3G network to up to 3.6Mbps in the UK).

The black iPhone 3G S is proving more popular and has sold 3 times more than the white version.
