Apple Inc. unveiled a taller, lighter and speedier iPhone that’s poised to become the fastest selling technology gadget in history -- even as competition accelerates in the $219.1 billion smartphone market.

“This is going to be the best-selling consumer electronics device of all time, bar none,” said Carl Howe, an analyst at Boston-based Yankee Group. He’s among analysts predicting that Apple will sell more than 10 million by month’s end, surpassing the record set last year by the previous model, the iPhone 4S.
