(GSM Insider) - Apple just announced that the sales of iPhone 5 hit more than 5 million units in just 3 days. This is another milestone for Apple's iPhone as the sales surpassed the previous record held by iPhone 4S.
"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, as the landmark was reached.
"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 being sold in nine countries presently, with another 22 nations getting the phone on September 22 and much of the rest of the world by the end of the year.
We expect iPhone 5 to reach new all time for iPhone and the numbers hard to predict at the moment. [Source]
