10 Million iPhone’s Sold

By Variety | Monday, September 22, 2014

Apple said it sold more than 10 million iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus devices in the first three days they went on sale — a new record for the tech giant and topping Wall Street estimates that it would move fewer than 9 million.

Moreover, according to Apple, it could have sold even more iPhone 6s if it had the inventories to meet demand. The launch led to the usual long lines at outlets around the world that have accompanied Apple’s major new releases, as fans waited for hours to be among the first to get their hands on the larger-screen smartphones.
