Apple Sells 5 Million IPhones in Opening Weekend
Published on:
Apple says that it sold over five million of its new iPhone 5 in the opening weekend. Demand for iPhone 5 exceeded the initial supply and while the majority of pre-orders have been shipped to customers, many are scheduled to be shipped in October.
"Demand for iPhone 5 has been incredible and we are working hard to get an iPhone 5 into the hands of every customer who wants one as quickly as possible," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. "While we have sold out of our initial supply, stores continue to receive iPhone 5 shipments regularly and customers can continue to order online and receive an estimated delivery date. We appreciate everyone's patience and are working hard to build enough iPhone 5s for everyone."
The iPhone 5 is available in the USA, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and the UK, and will be available in 22 more countries on September 28 and more than 100 countries by the end of the year.
Also, over 100 million iOS devices downloaded the new iOS 6 operating system software. The iOS6 upgrades were carried out despite a flood of complaints about the downgraded mobile maps service.
