More than 1 million iPhone 3G S smartphones have sold in the three days since the new model hit the stores Friday, Apple announced Monday. In addition, 6 million people have downloaded the new iPhone OS 3.0 update in the five days since its release.

The sales figure even prompted Apple CEO Steve Jobs to make his first public comment since going on medical leave early this year.
