Apple Sells Over 5 Million iPhones

The Apple iPhone 5 was released on Friday 21st September. Since its release over 5 million copies have been sold leading to low stocks.

On Monday it ran out of the initial stocks meaning that lots of pre-orders will be postponed until October.

Tim cook said "We are working hard to build enough iPhones for everyone."

William power added "We believe that sales could have potentially been much higher if not for supply constraints."

The low stocks are likely to affect apple deeply as the smartphone is released in 22 more countries on Friday and in more than 100 countries by the end of the year meaning they will need as many as possible.

The iPhone 5 has topped the iPhone 4S sales already. The iPhone 4S only had 4 million. However the iPhone 5 is still in competition with Googles android powered smartphones and the Samsung Galaxy's.
