Apple®
today announced it has sold a record-breaking nine million new iPhone®
5s and iPhone 5c models, just three days after the launch of the new iPhones
on September 20. In addition, more than 200 million iOS devices are now
running the completely redesigned iOS 7, making it the fastest software
upgrade in history. Both iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c are available in the US,
Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico,
Singapore and the UK. Demand for iPhone 5s has exceeded the initial supply,
and many online orders are scheduled to be shipped in the coming weeks.
“This is our best iPhone launch yet―more than nine million new iPhones sold―a
new record for first weekend sales,” said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. “The demand
for the new iPhones has been incredible, and while we've sold out of our
initial supply of iPhone 5s, stores continue to receive new iPhone shipments
regularly. We appreciate everyone's patience and are working hard to build
enough new iPhones for everyone.”
iPhone 5s redefines the best smartphone experience in the world with amazing
new features all packed into a remarkable thin and light design, including the
Apple-designed A7 64-bit chip, all-new 8 megapixel iSight® camera with True
Tone flash and introducing Touch ID™, an innovative way to simply and securely
unlock your phone with just the touch of a finger. iPhone 5c features an
all-new design, packed with features users know and love like the beautiful
4-inch Retina® display, blazing fast performance of the A6 chip, and the 8
megapixel iSight camera—all while delivering great battery life.¹ iPhone 5s
and iPhone 5c both offer more LTE bands² than any other smartphone in the
world and include all-new FaceTime® HD cameras.
iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c feature iOS 7, the most significant iOS update since
the original iPhone, featuring a stunning new user interface, completely
redesigned with an elegant color palette, distinct, functional layers and
subtle motion that make it feel more alive. iOS 7 has hundreds of great new
features, including Control Center, Notification Center, improved
Multitasking, AirDrop®, enhanced Photos, Safari®, Siri® and introduces iTunes
Radio℠, a free Internet radio service based on the music you listen to on
iTunes®.³ Over 11 million unique listeners have already tuned in to iTunes
Radio since launch with the most listened to song being “Hold On, We're Going
Home” by Drake.
Every customer who buys an iPhone 5s or iPhone 5c at an Apple retail store
will be offered free Personal Setup service, helping them customize their
iPhone by setting up email, showing them new apps from the App Store℠ and
more, so they'll be up and running with their new iPhone before they leave the
store. Customers can learn more about iOS 7 and their new device through new
