Apple Inc. said the iPhone 5 posted record sales in its first weekend of availability in China, the world’s largest mobile-phone market by users.

Apple sold more than 2 million of its latest handsets in the three days following its Dec. 14 introduction in the country, Apple said in a statement today. Carolyn Wu, a Beijing-based spokeswoman for Apple, said she didn’t have comparable data to release on initial sales in China of previous models.
