Apple has announced opening weekend sales of the new iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c which has sold a record-breaking nine million phones, just three days after the launch of the new iPhones on September 20.

“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.”

Apple also claims that more than 200 million iOS devices are now running the completely redesigned iOS 7, making it the fastest software upgrade in history.
