Apple reveals record sales for latest iPhones

Apple expected record sales of the new iPhone 6s [pictured] and 6s Plus over the weekend – and that’s exactly what the tech giant got.

Apple has sold more than 13 million new iPhones in just three days, the company crowed announced on Monday.

Apple has a chance to grow these numbers from 9 October, when the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus go on sale in a further 40 countries, including Austria, Croatia, Finland, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Taiwan.

Kyree is a freelance writer hoping he fits the role well. “These are the most advanced iPhones ever, with 7000 series aluminum, ion-strengthened glass, the new 64-bit A9 chip, 12-megapixel iSight and 5-megapixel FaceTime HD cameras, faster Touch ID, LTE and Wi-Fi”.

Due to Samsung changing its company policy and no longer releasing sales data, it is unknown how many units Samsung moved in the first weekend of the Galaxy Note 5. Moreover, by the end of current year the company plans to expand sales to more than 130 countries.

While Apple uses music celebrities to advertise its music offerings, the ad for the iPhone 6s is the first in which the it has used celebrities in the advertising for the phones.

Sales completed by Saturday September 26 will be included in Apple’s 2015 fourth quarter fiscal results, whilst sales on Sunday September 27 onwards will be included in the first 2016 quarterly results.

This year marked the first where China was among the initial launch markets for the new iPhones. China has become an increasingly important market to Apple, with more sales of the iPhone in the country than in the USA during some recent quarters.

The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus have the same 4.7- and 5.5-inch displays, respectively, as the prior-generation iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.

China is chiefly responsible for the record iPhone sales. (NASDAQ:AAPL)’s iPhone 6S was priced $16.50 higher than the iPhone 6 in respect of 16GB model. The new OS equips the phones with improved features in Apple Maps and News, and also includes the split-screen view.
