Apple sold 9 million iPhones over the weekend

4.6
Apple sold 9 million iPhones during the first weekend of availability. This massive sale should calm the whispers that consumers are falling out of love with Apple in favor of other mobile giants such as Samsung.

There were long lines at many Apple locations around the world filled with eager individuals who wanted to be among the first to try out Apple’s new iPhone 5s and 5c. While many thought that Apple may have intentionally not allowed 5s pre-orders to build longer lines, it does look like they genuinely were in short supplies of the devices.

The 9 million in sales is a new record for Apple, which will certainly help boost their stock price when the market opens later today. Apple also announced that over 200 million devices are now running iOS 7, which is a huge achievement for the company and developers too.

Apple’s new iPhone 5s and 5c comes with iOS 7, which has been receiving mostly positive reviews, but not everyone seems to be pleased. The new flat look and updated UX is a bit of a change over iOS 6 and time will tell if iOS 7 is the best path forward for Apple.

SiideSwipe I honestly didn't expect them to sell that much


I expected them to sell a lot but not quite this much.
I have learn to not underestimate Apple and their consumers long ago.

$200 is least you can pay for the new iPhone so that means they raked in roughly 1.8 billion dollars in just a few days. I'm jealous.

PawnStars To think of all the people who said Apple was dying out, all they have to do is make iPhones


Haha, I know.

Everytime Apple makes an iPhone every single teen on the world wants it, it's insanity.


That is exactly right, every year after w/e iphone they release has been out for a while everyone is like "apple is dead" and all that and then the next one comes out and breaks more records


Well the apple 5s is the fastest smartphone out (64bit) and has a finger print scanner, so it's pretty awesome


My gold one will shipped out November 11th, a little behind the ball this year but it will be awesome to get my iphone and ps4 only a couple days apart


Its a bummer how much longer the gold ones are taking, mine should be here october 25th


They are just that much more popular I guess


Yeah they are in higher demand. And i imagine sales will again skyrocket at Christmas


Well it's a good phone, so I don't see why not

TTGvoasyboi Wow how much money they made


all they do is make more money, what a talent


Well i would class apples business prowess as a talent. They have to be doing something right to sell that many units in such a short time
