We all know last week Apple launched new iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c with iOS 7 in them, and to our surprise, it sets a new record in sales. According to the reports, Apple sets a new record by selling 9 million iPhone 5s and 5c combined in a full weekend. Last year, Apple set a record for selling 5 million iPhone 5s in a full weekend and 4 million iPhone 4s in a full weekend prior to that. Now it broke its own record by selling over 9 million iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c combined. One thing we all must admit here: Apple fans all around the world were loyal to it, unlike others. Prior to Apple, it was Nokia who had loyal fans all around the world, but everything had changed since the launch of Apple’s iPhone back in 2007. No matter how many people criticize Apple for its same kind of design and small screen compared to today’s Android, especially Samsung and other Chinese brands, Apple is leading in its own way. It has a strong app ecosystem, premium design, and easy-to-use UI, which initially attracted users, and even now many old people prefer iPhones because of their clean & simple user interface (UI).
Since the initial stocks sold out, Apple CEO Tim Cook is happy about it and says in a statement, “We appreciate everyones patience and working hard to build enough new iPhones for everyone.”
The individual sales chart of iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c is not out yet, but analysts estimate that iPhone 5s outsold iPhone 5c .Apple is very happy for breaking its own record again, as well as for the stock market raise, Tim Cook says surprisingly
“This is our best iPhone launch yet.”
Apple has made the new iPhone 5s & 5c available in China, which is the largest market in the world and has plenty of room for further growth in sales. Anyway, we have to wait and see the Q4 earnings of Apple because of this new launch of the iPhone 5s and 5c .
