This is an excerpt from the official press release published by Business Wire:
Apple announced today that its iPhone 5 stocks topped 2 million in just 24 hours, more than double the previous record of 1 million iPhone 4S possessed. Demand for iPhone 5 initial outbid, although most orders will be delivered to customers on September 21, many are scheduled to be delivered in October.

In the last three months the drastic increase in the number of Android devices was caused by two devices: Samsung Galaxy S III
and Nexus 7 , Google’s tablet fabricated with Asus. Comparisons are odious, but to put into context the importance of the 500 million Android devices, you have to focus on its main competitor. Until July this year sold 410 million iOS gadgets, but this number tends to explode after the presentation of new devices.
