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."

    3 days

    3x24=72 hours

    72x60=4320 minutes

    10,000,000/4320=2314.814814814815 suckers/minute

    M2PTB was a pessimist.

    By this mechanic, there are 38.58024691358025 suckers/second ( or about 3.858024691358025 suckers/decisecond).

    The iPhone is faster in artificial benchmarks but if you compare real world performance like opening apps or app switching it's slower. It was the same with the Nexus 5 and iPhone 5S.

    There ate plenty of videos on YouTube demonstrating this.
