Apple claims that the new iPhone 3GS is almost twice as fast as its predecessor. In terms of sales, the iPhone 3GS probably sold twice as fast as well.

Apple announced today that the iPhone 3GS model has sold over 1,000,000 units since it’s launch last Friday in 8 countries around the world. Last year the iPhone 3G sold a million units in its first 3 days too, but back then it was being sold in 21 countries.

The news was so awesome that Steve Jobs even made his first press statement since he went on medical leave earlier this year.

“Customers are voting and the iPhone is winning,” Jobs said. “With over 50,000 applications available from Apple’s revolutionary App Store, iPhone momentum is stronger than ever.”
