iPhone 6s breaks Apple sales record with 13 million sold

[JordanWearinThe45]

Apple's iPhone 6s is the company's new sales champ, with 13 million units sold just three days after launch. "Sales... (blew) past any previous first weekend sales results in Apple's history," said CEO Tim Cook in a statement. The new handset easily beat the iPhone 6, which was in 10 million consumer's hands by the same three-day period a year ago. So how did Apple manage to sell around $10 billion worth of phones in such a short time-frame? Good press on the devices didn't hurt, but for the first time, the iPhone 6s launched in China at the same time that it debuted in the US and Europe.

The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus were also supposed to debut in China last year, but the launch was delayed by regulatory hurdles. The vast number of extra consumers in the nation, which is Apple's second biggest market, no doubt juiced sales this time. It doesn't diminish the feat, however, because the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus launched in just 12 countries, and will be available in 40 more starting on October 9th. When all is said and done, Apple's latest smartphones will be on sale in 130 countries total by the end of the year.

This shyt sold that much? I went to two t-mobile stores and they were empty as hell, no lines or nothing. Last year...

Not surprising. This is the the first time the iPhone was available day 1 in China. Plus all these new ways to buy a new phone so it's easy to see how they sold that much.

They're getting better at distribution. Long lines are becoming a thing of the past.

This has nothing to do with nothing. But, I have never purchased any of the "S" model iphones.
NEVER.

You should probably get on that S cycle, it's the best model for the given form factor.

Even though it is becoming clear that more and more people will be upgrading yearly.

Word is the sales being open to china for the first time saved this from being a flop (by iphone standards)

Same. I understand the S is technically the better buy, but I like having the new form factor as soon as it hits.

Overall sales of phones and tablets are trending down.

It's the reason we are seeing less and less high end tablets and phones from more companies.
