Apple Inc sold 9 million iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C models in their first three days on the market, the most successful iPhone launch ever.

Demand for the iPhone 5S has exceeded initial supplies, and many online orders are scheduled to be shipped in the coming weeks, the company said in a statement yesterday.

"It's a great number," said Colin Gillis, an analyst with BGC Partners. "We have been saying they will be selling every 5S they can make, and it looks like that is the case."

When Apple unveiled the iPhone 5 a year ago, it sold more than 5 million in the first three days after its launch.

On Friday, long lines formed outside stores in Tokyo, New York, San Francisco and other cities for Apple's new top-of-the-line 5S and the less-expensive 5C. It was the first time Apple launched two iPhone models simultaneously.
