As Latinos Post reported, Apple confirmed 9 million units of the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c were sold during its first weekend on Sept. 20. The Cupertino-based organization didn't reveal specific numbers for the iPhone 5s or iPhone 5c.
Kuo, however, estimated 3.5 million to 4.5 million units of the iPhone 5s were sold. Therefore, the iPhone 5c is projected to have sold 4.5 million to 5.5 million units.
Overall, the 9 million units for both phones were 4 million units more than the first-weekend sales of the iPhone 5 in September 2012, which sold 5 million units.
"This is our best iPhone launch yet-more than nine million new iPhones sold - a new record for first weekend sales," said Apple CEO Tim Cook, in a prepared statement. "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."
The iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s launched on Sept. 20 across Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, Singapore, United Kingdom and United States.
