you'd think no one needed to line up at all seeing how the oversold the most common estimate by 3 million phones.

I've seen someone complains about this somewhere, and it happened to me on another website, quite confusing. Thanks for https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6430521 explanation

#14The article fails to mention that this significantly surpasses the most commonly repeated estimate of 6M (made by Piper Jaffray). Source: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57603553-37/apple-expected...
Well I read several folks ranging from 5-8 mil. I think even Piper said 7 mil possible. Either way they blew through them all.

#15It goes to show you just how hungry people were for change on the platform. Next up has to be screen size which would result in a similar massive weekend for the 6.

This was just their minor release cycle, so yeah it will be crazy to think how the 6 will sell.

Re: Apple’s iPhone 5s And iPhone 5c Sell 9M Units Over Opening Weekend
#19I was in NY for vacation during the opening Friday and decided to head into a queue and line up for the 5s, suspecting that it may sell out quickly while also leveraging the pricing difference between Europe and USA. This was the first time that I lined up for any Apple launch (execept for the yearly WWDC waiting line of course), and it was overall a fun experience, not only because my girlfriend joined me there and…
I upgraded from a 4 as well. I could not be happier so far. There were many apps that I had thought were just complete sh that now zoom on the 5s (spotify, g+, and a few others). Finger print reader is surprisingly useful, although a minor feature. Possibly the most noticeable thing for me from the 4 to the 5s is the speaker. I always have podcasts running as I walk around the house and noticed a huge difference in quality and volume. With the 4 I often had to plug in headphones to be able to hear over an AC unit or a my car's engine. The 5s speaker cuts through a lot better.

#20Nothing moves the stock like a successful product. I am glad they did not bow to market pressure and announce more dividends or stock buybacks. Stock buybacks are just dead money. They should instead use that money on their business and not to satisfy investors over the short term.
