Ondrej Holzman Apple announced that it sold more than nine million Apple phones in the first weekend when the new iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C are available. It significantly exceeded analysts' expectations...
Various calculations assumed that Apple would sell around 5 to 7,75 million units during the first weekend. However, all estimates were massively exceeded, just like last year's success at the start of sales of the iPhone 5. sold "only" five million.
“This is our best iPhone sales launch ever. Nine million new iPhones sold are a record in the first weekend,” CEO Tim Cook said in a press release. “Demand for the new iPhones has been incredible and although we have sold out of initial stock of the iPhone 5S, stores are receiving regular deliveries. We appreciate everyone's patience and are working hard to get the new iPhone to everyone."
Stock prices immediately responded to the high numbers, rising by 3,76%.
According to available sources, the iPhone 5S was the most popular model during the first weekend, however, it can be expected that the iPhone 5C will catch up in the following months, which should attract the wider public.
As expected, Apple did not provide official data on the sales of individual iPhones. However, analytics firm Localytics claims that the iPhone 5S beat the iPhone 5C in sales by a ratio of 3:1. In that case, approximately 5 million iPhone 6,75S units would be sold.
At the moment, the iPhone 5S is sold out practically all over the world (so far it is sold in 10 countries), there is no problem with the iPhone 5C.
Apple also said in a press release that iTunes Radio has been a huge success since day one, with over 11 million unique listeners already. iOS 7 doesn't have to be shy either, according to Apple, it's currently running on more than 200 million devices, making it the fastest-growing software update in history.
...and they say that people don't have money. :D
... and the fact that Apple is declining and going to waste.... :-DD
And it's here.. This message was what we ugly people needed..:)
Did he sell 9 million iPhones or does he have orders for 9 million iPhones? If the ratio is 3:1 in favor of the 5S, then he sold a little over 2 million 5Cs and the remaining 6 million are sales and orders for the 5S. There were a total of around 50 thousand 5S in stores and they will never say how many they had in the online store.
Apple always reports the number of iPhones actually sold, that is, how many are actually in the hands of users. The orders will thus only be reflected in the quarterly results, which will be the closest date when Apple will show off the numbers. Apple's fiscal quarter ends this week.
Ah, hats off to you.
Well he is sales and sales…..
Probably the one like last year...
Thus, the demand of the fans raised the middle finger to all the critics of Apple and it became clear that Apple showed something more than expected and people are willing to spend for it, moreover, 9 million are clear numbers watched by investors and the New York Stock Exchange, so it is debatable whether it was one or the other sales is unnecessary, the final customer is always at the end. I personally have an iP5 and I'm currently playing with iOS7 and I have to say already, except for a few small things - satisfaction is a step forward
Well, the paradox is rather how the fact that there is no money, that there is a crisis, that this, and that, etc. is washed away, and then this…. :D comedy ;)
That's a little different, while my friend buys an iPhone for about 1/3 of his salary, here his salary is slowly not enough ;) slowly (simply not enough)..
Ok, half, at least..
That's a blast, 9 megabytes in two days.
That's nice.
So congratulations. You probably shake your head at Samsung and Microsoft :)
