According to media reports, Apple sold something like 5 million iPhone 5 units in the first weekend it was available for purchase. And that doesn't even include the people who pre-ordered one.

I don't have an iPhone (yet) but I do own an Android — although I mostly use it to play a Euchre app when I'm bored.
