Corey Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Amid issues with Maps, light leaks and scratching and scuffing aluminum casings, Apple (AAPL) is still selling out of every single iPhone 5 it is making.

Wu predicts Apple will sell 46.5 million iPhone 5′s in the new fiscal quarter. Read View the full article Quote
