Mainland customers snap up 2m iPhone 5

Apple says 2 million iPhone 5 were sold on the Chinese mainland in the first three days since sales began last Friday.

Industry insiders said the figure reflected the popularity of iPhone 5 in China, the world’s biggest mobile phone market, and Apple’s improved distribution and supply in its second biggest market after the United States.

"Customer response to iPhone 5 in China has been incredible," Apple’s Chief Executive Tim Cook said in a statement yesterday. "China is a very important market for us and customers there cannot wait to get their hands on Apple products."
