The performance of the iPhone-5 in the market will not only be watched by market analysts, but it is also very important for the future of Apple.

According to data released by Apple, after the company’s results, sales of iPhone and its accessories contribute 52 percent.

But Apple is having a tough competition with Samsung. Its products sell fast all over the world.
