Apple American Group announced Monday that it had sold 9 million copies its new iPhone 5s and 5c in the first three days of marketing, well above expectations results. “This is our best iPhone launch to date, more than 9 million new iPhones sold, a new record for sales in the first weekend,” welcomed the group CEO, Tim Cook, citing in a statement an “incredible” demand. Sales turn out better than analysts’ expectations, which generally had forecast about 6 million units.

In electronic trading before the opening of the New York Stock Exchange, Apple’s stock jumped 5.21% to $ 491.78 50 to 14 hours in Paris. The previous model, the iPhone 5, was passed only 5 million copies in three days, but was not launched immediately on the important Chinese market. The demand for iPhone 5s, the more upscale of the two new models, “exceeded the initial offer, and many online orders will be delivered in the coming weeks,” said Apple Monday.
