Apple Inc said its sales of Wi-Fi only iPads had doubled from its last launch as it sold 3 million in the three days since the introduction of the two newest versions of its popular tablet computer. While lines for Apple's launch of its iPad mini and its fourth-generation iPad appeared lighter than usual at some stores on Friday, the company said on Monday that demand was so strong that it "practically sold out of iPad minis."
"We're working hard to build more quickly to meet the incredible demand," Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said in a statement. Apple said its sales number was double the first-weekend sales of 1.5 million Wi-Fi only models for the third-generation iPad sold in March. The previous iPad's first-weekend sales of 3 million units included devices with cellular connections as well as the cheaper Wi-Fi only units.
