Buying more, more, more of iPhone 4

AN Apple a day is good for phone sales as well as your health as stores around the country reported a heavy demand for the company’s iPhone 4 which went on sale yesterday.

Ireland was one of 17 countries including Australia, Canada and Spain in which the new Apple handset became available yesterday following its global launch last June.

However, Apple insists on virtual secrecy governing its sales figures so no details are available on the number of units of the iPhone 4 sold in the Republic.
