Apple®
today announced it has sold over five million of its new iPhone® 5, just three
days after its launch on September 21, and more than 100 million iOS devices
have been updated w
So
how good number is that? Apple sold 5 million iPhone5s in its first weekend, up from 4 million iPhone 4Ss last
year. Is this the biggest and larget selling products of all times
This
number isn’t 10 million or even 8 million or 6 million, so some are saying that
it’s “WORSE THAN
EXPECTED” or “verydisappointing”. his is well below what Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster was
calling for. He predicted 6-10 million for
the opening weekend.

iPhone
5 is available in the US, 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
