iPhone 4S racked in 4 million units in sale

4 million. That is the magic number on the amount of iPhone 4S devices sold during its first weekend since its debut on the 14^th of October. This number is more than double than the amount of iPhone 4 sold during its debut last year. This number comes as to no surprise to many because that are simply a lot of reasons for the success of the iPhone 4S.

First of all, we can see that the device was made available in a wide number of carriers namely Verizon and Sprint in addition to AT&T. It was not the case last year as AT&T was the sole distributor for the iPhone 4 which manage to rake only 1.7 million units in sales. It has also been 2 years since the iPhone 3GS was released and the device came just in time for people that has their contract ended to get a new phone, specifically speaking the iPhone 4S

In addition to that, Apple also had reportedly said that more than 25 million of its iPhone/iPad devices has upgraded to the new iOS 5. With such rapid development, Apple will once again take the lead in the mobile devices market share
