apple shares plummet because the iPhone sucks

shares down 6%, and they expected to have sold 500,000, by this time, but insted have sold only 146,000, as the article states. Sorry, but that sounds to me like the iPhone is not doing as well as expected. This has nothing to do with Apple, so much as AT&T and their reputation for being a shitty service provider.
 
Apple shares went down 6% on the news AT&T activated only 146,000. But activations != sales you fucking moron. AT&T had activation problems over the launch weekend which caused delays in iPhone activations, and most of them got activated the following week.

Apple had the quarter end financial analyst teleconference where they released the sales numbers and they actually SOLD 270,000 iPhones opening weekend. They also shipped more Macs and iPods in the quarter than they did in the year ago quarter and earnings per share was at a record high.

On this news, Apple shares shot up over 12% in overnight trading on Wednesday.

Maybe you should just shut the fuck up and stop trying to talk about things you simply don't know a goddamn thing about.

As for the 500,000 estimate, that was NOT from Apple, that estimate was made by an analyst at Piper Jaffray: http://news.com.com/8301-10784_3-9738446-7.html

Apple's sales goal is for 1% of the US cell phone market by the end of 2008, which has not a damn thing to do with a prediction of sales during launch weekend. They are currently forecasting one million units to be sold by the end of September and 15 million iPhones sold by the end of 2008.

You're a complete failure at life.
 
Wow. Fucking.

I just want to add that Apple wanted to sell 100,000 phones during it's first 30 hours. Investors wanted 200,000 sold. These were figures that were created BEFORE the release. And then Apple sold 270,000. Bam.
