AT&T announced it set a sales record with iPhone 5 over the weekend, making it the fastest-selling iPhone the company has ever offered.
Customers ordered more iPhones from AT&T than any previous model both on its first day of pre-orders and over the weekend, according to a press release.
The iPhone 5 is still available for pre-orders online and will be available at its stores starting on Friday, according to AT&T.
It did not say how many were sold.
The nation's second and third largest carriers, Verizon and Sprint, have not released pre-order sales information.
The iPhone 5 has a bigger 4-inch screen that creates room for another row of icons and lets widescreen movies fit better. The calendar will now show five days at a time instead of just three. Previous iPhone models had 3.5-inch screens.
The iPhone 5 will also come with the capability to connect to the fastest new wireless data networks in the U.S. and overseas.
