The iPhone 4S sold 4 million by it's first weekend. The iPhone 5 sold 5 million. However...

The iPhone 5 launched in more countries. And the iPhone 4S did not launch on carriers like Verizon or Sprint.

While theoretically speaking the iPhone 5 appears to be "selling better", given these facts the argument can be made that technically, the iPhone 5 is not selling better at all. More like equal or slightly under.

What part about "supply constraints" you didn't understand.

 

You do understand that Apple is counting all unfulfilled pre-orders as part of the 5 million. So if there would have been 10 million pre-orders and only 3 million devices available, they would have still said they sold 10 million.

I am not sure about that, I just read that they don't.
