NEW YORK — Apple Inc. said Monday it has sold 1 million iPhones in the three days since the release of the latest model on Friday. But the launch was plagued by software problems. All the new iPhones, selling for $199 or $299 in the U.S., had to connect to Apple's servers for activation, which quickly caused the servers to become overloaded. Apple sold about 6 million units of the first-model iPhone since it launched in the U.S. a year ago.
