Apple shares rose nearly 3% Wednesday after it announced sales of more than 600,000 iPhone 4s in its first day, despite shortages and technical flaws that prevented many online orders from going through. It was a record for single day pre-orders. That put the device on track to surpass sales of its previous iPhone models as well as its iPad tablet computer, Reuters said. Apple apologized Wednesday for having to halt sales temporarily after the surprising volume of online interest overloaded order and approval systems and supplies ran out. |
