The launch of the new iPhone 5s and 5c proved to be the most successful smartphone debut ever for Apple Inc., with a record 9 million units being sold in the first three days.
"This is our best iPhone launch yet--more than nine million new iPhones sold--a new record for first weekend sales," said Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook. "The demand for the new iPhones has been incredible, and while we've sold out of our initial supply of iPhone 5s, stores continue to receive new iPhone shipments regularly. We appreciate everyone's patience and are working hard to build enough new iPhones for everyone."
Apple has easily exceeded the record 5 million iPhone 5 units the company sold on that device's launch last year. Unsurprisingly, Apple did not give a breakdown of iPhone 5s or iPhone 5c sales. Apple also announced on Monday that more than 200 million devices are running the redesigned iOS 7, making it the fastest upgrade in history.
It's likely that the iPhone 5s was the most popular choice over the weekend, as it is Apple's latest flagship device and would likely be a more popular choice for early adopters.
