AnonD-55045, 24 Sep 2012More detail on what that 5 million units (not the expected ... moreInteresting, so what that says is that Apple made 5 million units, they sold out at the same rate per outlet as the 4S and then Apple came to the end of their supply. Deduction from that, 5million units sold out can tell us absolutely nothing about what the final sales will be.

    Hmm, number number and number...

    Why only report sales only at 5 mills? so little??? why not tell the world iPhone5 sold 20 mills within 24 hours???

    iPhone5 sold 5 mills, so what about thos old iPhone3gs/iPhone4/iPhone4s? do they throw to the recycle bin?

    for sure those new owner of iPhone5 is the same stupid owner of the old iP3gs/iP4/iP4s.

        AnonD-59380, 24 Sep 2012The Samsung fanboys must be so pissed off right now. LOLOf course they’re not! They are laughing at people who brought iPhone 5 because they lack the true knowledge of a Smartphone… they’re laughing because you paid premium for 1/2 “ screen… you paid a lot for useless maps… you’re paining so much for no innovation! And you’ll be paying more and more to Apple because of the newly introduced lightning connecter. Apple must have a known that people can easily get old connectors for 99 cents and so they introduced lightning connector and guess what, it’s now $20… wow, that they make money… Apple has the most impressive marketing strategy and hence they make sick people believe that if it’s not in Apple iPhone, it’s a feature not worth having and iFans will blindly believe it… so we’re laughing at you bro… and certainly not pissed off! We know how to spend our money wisely… so we choose cleverly!

          'As for high-end Androids, Exynos 4 Quad and Tegra 3 based phones like the Samsung Galaxy S III and the HTC One X manage to outperform the iPhone 5'... the htx one x if not running JB perfomance is on par with the ip5'

          cheers ;)

Most of them are not after the sales of samsung or iphone, they are happy because of the freedom Android has given to them.

                I thought they are expecting high volume of sales (like 8M)? then they said that it was a sold out on 5M? are they expecting 8M sales with pre-orders which they didn't met?

                                  So this phone has the ability to sell much faster than the 4S i.e. more outlets and more units initially produced but it only sells a million more than the 4S in the same amount of time. units sold per outlet has gone down then. Sounds like Apple has kicked the bucket :-P

                                        Apparently a lot of iphone 5's have been sold off to CEX.
                                        It will be interesting to see how many are returned due to the paint issue.
