Apple revels in record-breaking iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus sales

The way I like to think of it is as a positive feedback loop: the faster Apple can grow its sales, the better it can afford to make its iPhones while still delivering increased profits to its stockholders.

While Etisalat, the older operator, is asking customers to fill up a short “pre-registration” form, the younger operator Du tweeted that customers can pre-order their iPhone 6s via its website starting this Friday October 2, 2015.

Analyst Shannon Cross of Cross Research said she was impressed by Apple’s ability to drum up consumer interest in a device with relatively modest improvements over the iPhone 6, whose new, larger screens touched off a sales frenzy.

Here’s one for the Apple fans – Apple Inc. have announced the official dates the the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus will be available in the UAE.

The sales figures gave a glimpse of Apple’s performance in China, whose economic downturn has been a source of great angst for investors. Obviously, if Apple sells 1,000 of these units, it will make less money than it did selling 1,000 iPhone 6 models previous year.

“Demand out of China looks white-hot”, Mr Ives said.

Suppose that Apple’s iPhone 6 average selling prices were $700 and it cost the company $350 to manufacture the devices.

The new iPhones come with an upgraded camera, more memory and speedier processors.

Now available in the U.S., United Kingdom and Australia (among others), the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus will launch in more than 40 additional countries beginning 9 October and will be available in over 130 countries by the end of the year.

3D Touch introduces new ways to navigate and experience your iPhone by sensing pressure to enable new gestures, enabling users to “peek” into apps without actually opening them.

Apple relies heavily on sales of the iPhone, which generated almost two-thirds of its revenue in the latest quarter.
