In its first weekend of debut last year, the iPhone 4S sold 4 million units and its predecessor, iPhone 4 was just 1.7 million back in the first weekend of 2010 debut.
As at now, the demand of the iPhone 5 has exceeded the available supply and some pre-orders that were made late would have to be patient for 2 – 3 weeks before they could lay their hands on the long awaited iPhone 5.
The launch on the 21st September brings the iPhone 5 into 9 countries that includes; US, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and the UK.

The iPhone 5 is coming in two different colors, the white and the black flavor. The chipset on the iPhone 5 is named A6 by Apple, analyst has been able to analyze the A6 Chipset and found out that it has a double performance than the A5 in the iPhone 4S predecessor. The chipset processor clocks 1.2GHz and supported by 1GB RAM. It is also packaged with PowerVR SGX 54MP3 three-core GPU, with a performance that is very close to the A5X GPU in the new iPad.

I really can’t believe people are buying this. Even when they see the difference with Android smartphones. I’m not an Apple hater, but seriously Jelly Bean can beat iOS 6 in so many ways and not to mention Galaxy S 3 against iPhone 5.
Hey Roshan,
That’s what many people also believe the Jelly Bean Mobile OS can do but let not forget Apple iOP is also interesting. Thanks for your comment 🙂

When I hear crazy sales numbers like this, I realize I’m never going to understand people! They’re so excited to overspend just to have the newest gadget.
Well said, you know, getting the latest version of stuffs is fun on its own, especially the Apple’s iPhone, do you know that people were even struggling to get a title I tag “the first person to handle the iPhone 5”
Nothing to be surprised. iPhone will dominate smart phone market as always.
You are right but Apple need to work more harder in order to claim the industry from Google android open source platform 🙂
Kinda expansive, I don’t know I’d buy one right now, I’ll stay with Android tables.
You better do cos android platform is even becoming more entertaining than iOS right now 🙂
5 million sales in 3 days, that’s really awesome, but no doubt iPhone lovers are crazy about it. Well, iPhone 5 has much enhanced features from it’s predecessors such as bigger screen, better screen resolution, lighter weight and also it has 4G LTE.
Apple always has a way of attracting more customers, they widen up their market this time around, and the iPhone 5 came unique that is almost totally different frokm what is being seeing before, that is why everyone wants to have a feel.
The iPhone 5 Map app is defective so they said, and Apple has apologize for the app error with a promise to create a better one. That is one error found with the new iPhone 5. If the Samsung galaxy is perfect, then i think S galaxy got advantage over it.
The crave for iphones is a mystery. I=Could it be because of the hype which apple people give apple before its release to the market?
You are right, but Apple has so much built a brand that people marvel about, that is why there is always a quake whenever Apple is about releasing a new product, especially its iPhone.
How much a iPhone5. Thanks you so much.
This will inevitably happen because this is a smartphones are very eagerly awaited for everyone, if I have a lot of money, I would buy it.
