    Apple (AAPL) announced Monday that it sold more than 4 million iPhone 4S units between 8 a.m. Friday and 12 midnight Sunday.

    That's 135% better than the launch of the iPhone 4 in June 2010, and better than any analyst had predicted. The average estimate among the few who had ventured a guess was a little over 3 million.

    In our poll of 4,300 readers conducted over the weekend, "more than 4 million" was the second most popular guess (22.78% of respondents) after "more than 3 million" (40.3%). See here.
