Apple announces new record of 10 million new iPhones sold in first 3 days

As expected, the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus opening weekend broke sales records for Apple. The company is saying that 10 million units were sold over the first three days that the new devices were offered.

"Sales for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus exceeded our expectations for the launch weekend, and we couldn't be happier," said Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook. "We would like to thank all of our customers for making this our best launch ever, shattering all previous sell-through records by a large margin. While our team managed the manufacturing ramp better than ever before, we could have sold many more iPhones with greater supply and we are working hard to fill orders as quickly as possible."

iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus pre-orders top 4 million units in 24-hours

Setting another record for pre-orders, Apple said today that the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the largest iPhones ever made, received over 4 million pre-orders. The devices, which come to stores on September 19th, are expected to be in short supply, so we should see some lines of people trying to get the devices on day one. Many iPhone preorders aren't scheduled to get to customers until October.

"Demand for the new iPhones exceeds the initial pre-order supply and while a significant amount will be delivered to customers beginning on Friday and throughout September, many iPhone pre-orders are scheduled to be delivered in October. Additional supply of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be available to walk-in customers on Friday, September 19 at 8:00 a.m.," said a statement from Apple.
