When Apple unveiled only Iphone 4S during the Let's talk Apple event,it didn't go down well with Apple enthusiasts & people as they were really looking forward to see Iphone 5 with newer & better features than Iphone 4S but it was a no show,Moments after this announcement Apple's market plummeted down & experts believed that if there's anything that could save Apple's Iphone 4S,then it would be Siri,Apple's artifical Intelligence.Although the analysts claimed that Iphone 4S wont sell as it would have been expected to they were proved wrong.Just 12 hours into the pre-order it seems that the Iphone 4S has already been sold out as claimed by At & T.
Also the International shipping orders for Iphones have also been shifted to a good 1-2 weeks.When compared with the Iphone 4 launch 16 months back which saw 600,000 Iphones to be sold in the very first day across its carriers in U.S,U.K,Germany,Japan & France,with 200,000 pieces sold out in less than 12 hours with the shipping dates pushed back to almost 2 weeks,this probably is the most successful Iphone launch ever.But analysts claim that If Iphone 5 was made available,then probably it would have dominated the Mobile market & given Apple the monopoly in the mobile domain.
These numbers are pretty impressive given the fact that there are only 3 carriers this time around as Apple decided to kill the deal with T-Mobile due to its loyalty in the Android domain.Also AT & T has managed to sell more Iphone 4S than its competitors Sprint & Verizon
