Apple’s iPhone 5 sets AT&T sales record; most successful iPhone launch ever

AT&T set a sales record with iPhone 5 over the weekend, making it the fastest-selling iPhone AT&T has ever offered. Customers ordered more iPhones from AT&T than any previous model both on its first day of preorders and over the weekend.

iPhone 5 is still available for preorder at www.att.com/iphone and will be available in AT&T retail stores beginning at 8 am local time on Friday, September 21.

AT&T offers a number of advantages for iPhone 5 customers.

• Largest 4G Network. Customers get blazing-fast speeds on the nation’s largest 4G network, covering 275 million people.
• Flexible Rate Plans. AT&T doesn’t force customers to switch data plans to get the best device price when they upgrade to a new device and new AT&T customers aren’t forced into a certain plan; they have the flexibility to choose from one of several individual or Mobile Share plans.
• More customers choose AT&T for iPhone than any other U.S. carrier.
