iPhone 5 becomes the fastest selling phone on AT&T beating... iPhone 4S
Share:
Across all three U.S. carriers at its launch, the iPhone 4S recorder 4 million sales in the opening weekend and currently holds the title for fastest selling phone.
Now, expectations are for the iPhone 5 to surpass those 4 million sales and reach as much as double that number in the best-case scenario.
So far, we’ve heard that Apple sold out of its initial preorders for the iPhone 5 and the shipping date was quickly pushed back to a week. Since then more and more preorders have come in and the waiting period for preorders has grown to the whopping 2 to 3 weeks.

The combination of size, screen, build quality, materials, eco-system, software simplicity and stability, camera, support is still unbeatable.
+1 for that

Yes. People are not stupid. They buy what is best. On the market now, there is just nothing better than iP5.

The sales numbers prove it. And for the previous 4S, and for the 4 etc. The combination of size, screen, build quality, materials, eco-system, software simplicity and stability, camera, support is still unbeatable.

Sub-HD 4" screen, lacks NFC, has a small battery, can't do simultaneous voice and data on Verizon or Sprint, lacks expandable storage, has a proprietary connector and allows little customization.
Tell me how this makes it the best phone on the market.

Isn't Xiaomi's phone beats this? Did I just made this up or before, I saw this report regarding Xiaomi, selling or having pre-ordered 200,000 phones in less than 30 minutes?

Shino is correct and facts speak for itself. The frame, form and architecture and eco system all have taken iphone where it is today. But i like Note and waiting for Note2.

Watch and see how many android users post on this today. If anyone is getting a little crazy its these android guys. Just don't click on the article if you hate apple so much. Youre looking more obsessed than apple users.

Don't they always say that?? Next year when they unveil the iP5s or the iP6 it will be the fastest-selling phone again.
