“Having jumped 200% immediately after the Sept. 5 price cut, sales of iPhones at Apple’s (AAPL) flagship stores stabilized at about 142 per day, up roughly 56% from 91 per day before their price dropped $200, according to a report issued today by Piper Jaffray,” Phillip Elmer-Dewitt reports for Fortune.
“Munster notes that Mac sales, which were up sharply during July and August after the introduction of the new iMacs and during Apple’s back-to-school specials, have fallen nearly 40%,” Elmer-Dewitt reports.

MacDailyNews Note: Mac sales are seasonal and a decline in the post back-to-school period ahead of of holiday sales is nothing unexpected.

How do they know this?
Many of these sales come from Apple itself, and are therefore unmeasureable until Apple announces.
I’m pretty sure Apple’s manufacturing partners have learned to keep their mouths shut, too.
Yes, past the edu buying season, the holiday season has not quite begun, and the huge boost of sales that always accompanies a new iMac is beginning to subside. I would say that would even be predictable.
Mmmm… I guess they are wrong, there are stupid questions.
Think before you write.
I believe that every product will drop down percentage points after the first big wave of consumers hit it…
Leopard is about to be released, which may account for the drop in sales.
Is that 142,000 per day? or 142 per day per store?
nope, it is not, iPhone hype is clearly falling down. Ohh well, it was nice as long as it lasted.
so they sell more iPhones per day than MS has sold zunes….. ever?
i mean actual sales, not channel stuffing, before someone trots out (finger to corner of mouth) 1 million sales!
142 per day means 50,552 per year.
That’s very bad if it’s a total sales figure.
Not too bad if it’s a per Applestore figure.
Better figure this one out.
PJ is started to act a bit hysterical.
Like peeping Toms or stalkers in Apple stores, sneaking around and counting iPhone sales, etc. They cannot count Apple Store online sales at all.
Creepy. Worst, probably inacurrate.
iPhone will continue to sell well with our without the hype. It’s a fantastic product and people want one. The holiday sales season will demonstrate just how deep and wide this demand is.
The only date that concerns me is November 6th, when the iPhone is released in Europe…then they will have a bar set in order to judge the iPhone sales. Folks, this iPhone is currently only in reach of a very small portion of the world…sales should be astronomical later when other countries get the chance. China does not have the average income of the American household, but considering we are crowded with 300 million people(about 100 million are illegals, and counting), let’s not forget in nearly the same amount of square miles(forgiving Alaska), there are approximately 1.7 billion people. China will not the a focus for the iPhone, but add up all of Europe, Canada, and Australia combined, and you have TREMENDOUS potential for iPhone sales. This thing is just beginning…AAPL is going above 200…and iPhone sales are going to be bigger than we imagined…still with little real competition feature for feature…all tied in with iTunes. The carriers on board are going to be rich.
That’s 142 per day in the flagship store. So sales in smaller stores are likely to be less. If on average 50 are sold per store per day that would make a 10000 per day or 3.5M per year. Assuming AT&T;can match that number with their 2000 stores then you’re at 7M per year.
At that rate Apple would meet their goal of 10M by end of 2008.
If the sales rate increases then they would exceed that. That’s a distinct possibility since Apple will update the phone. I could go for one with 32 gig space since then it would replace both my phone and iPod.
“iPhone sales are up”, fantastic! Strangely, there is no more money in my pocket. So, I don’t really care one way or the other.

@DogGone
Don’t forget that there’s the rumor about x86 based iPhone coming. And the PDA that resembles iPhone, so it’s gonna be Newton with Evolution. Newton Evo.

It’d cool if it came with stylus and a kick ass drawing app. I could draft on a bus and finish later.
The PDA and the x86 iPhone could both be the same device. Rumors, rumors, rumors…
Don’t forget after Nov the iPhone will be sold all around the world
It is already in demand in the UK by teens
@ Masa
That’s just US sales. The iPhone will appear in Europe soon and maybe in Canada and other far away places

Masa: The Newtown rumors don’t make sense. The iPhone (and iPod touch, to a lesser extent) already are PDAs.
Er, “Newton”
What PJ conveniently don’t say is how far and fast the product had dropped in terms of sales before the price drop, so the when you look at it, the great 56% “Increase” only brings it back towards AVERAGE sales for the preceding couple of months.
Hey maybe it’s time for another price cut to get the ball rolling again? Ha!

Good Day. Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear.
