So many tech sites seemed disappointed at the iPhone 5C and 5S. Apple held it launch of both phones on the 20th September 2013. And today Apple released its actual sales not shipped of the new iPhones.

So lets put this in perspective. When the first iPhone came out, selling 10m of these in a YEAR was going to be incredible.

So what happened in 3 days. 1 in 800 people from around the entire world bought an iPhone.

In 2011 Apple sold in its launch weekend 4m iPhones.

In 2012 Apple sold in its launch weekend 5m iPhones.

And at best case, Apple was expected to hit 6m by the analysts. In fact it SOLD 9m. 9m iPhones in 3 days.

Another stunning statistic is 200m Apple users updated to iOS 7. No other platform can boast this level of uptake.

Some companies can’t even sell that in a quarter!!

And Tim Cook summarised it perfectly on Twitter.
