Apple Sells More Than 10 Million New iPhones In First 3 Days

Posted by samzenpus on from the get-it-now dept.

An anonymous reader writes Apple has announced that it sold over 10 million new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models, just three days after the launch on September 19. From the article: "Chief Executive Tim Cook said the company could have sold even more iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models if supplies had been available. Analysts had estimated first-weekend sales of up to 10 million iPhones, after Apple booked record pre-orders of 4 million on Sept. 12, the day pre-orders opened."

  1. How many are new Apple customers? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Most of the new iPhones seem to be going to existing iPhone users. Trading in old phones after the contract expires brings in some new money for Apple without increasing market share.

    That report is a bit misleading, given it ignores the first two weeks after launch where sales are always highest. Samsung sold 10 million phones in first 25 days

  3. More than Microsoft by sproketboy · · Score: 3, Interesting

    More than Microsoft sold in it's whole history!
