announcement on Monday.
The company said 10 million iPhone 6 and 6 Plus devices were
sold in the first weekend.
When the company launched the iPhone 5s and 5c last year 9
million phones were sold in the first weekend.
The sales of the two devices mark a record for Apple. The 10
million mark is also higher than what technology analysts had
forecasted. They thought the company would sell 6.5 million
phones the first weekend.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said, "Sales for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6
Plus exceeded our expectations for the launch weekend, and
we couldn't be happier."
Cook also said that supplies were short and many more
iPhones could have been sold if the stores had more
inventory. He also added that the company is working to fill
orders as quickly as possible.
Many customers who pre-ordered their iPhones are facing
shipping dates into November -- especially for the iPhone 6
Plus.
Apple did not break down the number of iPhone 6 devices sold
versus the iPhone 6 Plus.
