"iPhone Sales Propel Apple"

"Apple reported a third-quarter profit that was up 15% from a year ago as the company sold 5.2 million iPhone units.

"The iPhone highlighted the report, as Apple said sales of its smart phone surged 626% over the same period a year ago. The new iPhone 3GS was on sale for less than two weeks during the quarter.

"Oppenheimer said response to the newest iPhone 'has been tremendous,' with more than 1 million sold in the first three days of its release. Oppenheimer said Apple was dealing with a case of high demand and insufficient inventory on the shelves.

"'We are currently unable to make enough iPhone 3GSs to meet demand, and we are working to address [that].'"
