iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Sales Top Ten Million in Launch Weekend

Not surprising given the lines at the apple stores and the fact they sold 4 million on preorders

I think this doesn't measure the demand for the iPhone 6, but the supply. 10 million means Apple had a halfway decent supply, considering that they are probably still building up supply for the countries that start selling next weekend and didn't put up all the phones they have up for sale.
 
Wasn't Steve's goal of selling the original iPhone 10 million units in an entire year? I still remember his 2007 keynote where he wanted to capture "just 1 percent of the market."
 
Ten million in three days is an insane number. But then, so was nine million in three days last year. It still makes me chuckle that people were predicting apples demise two years ago...based solely on their stock price. Apple just keeps on truckin....

All that without China's help. Add another 2million if China was included in the first wave.

1.9 million because there is probably 100,000 phones are so bought by scalpers and going straight to China.

How many were sold to black market buyers?

Grey market, not black market. Black market is illegal by definition. Grey market is "unwanted sales", like sales to scalpers.
 
Samsung should make an ad showing how they sold more than 10 million galaxy s5 units the first weekend :rolleyes:
 
UNderwhelming

Given the fact that this is supposed to be their biggest launch yet (TC's own words), I find the difference with last year underwhelming.

On a positive note, this year does not include China (last year's numbers did).
 
Well - seems like the delays are not as bad as they sounded.

Mine was originally quoted (from ATT) to ship Oct 21-28 (pre-ordered at 3:05am EST) ... Just got the tracking number yesterday and it will arrive tomorrow at my house (a full month early)

10 M in 3 days -> 1.22 B in a year? Obviously that won't really happen, but can we project, just from the first three days, about how many they'll sell before the launch of the next one based on previous years?

No, the demand isn't constant like that. This is a peak, then it levels off, picks up a bit again for the Christmas season, then lower but steady, and by June, sales start to drop off as people wait for the next one.

Well, Samsung counts sales to stores, not sales to end users. So they can easily sell 10 million phones on the first weekend, and then end users can take as long as they like to remove them from the store shelves.
 
iPhone6 :

- Bad screen aspect ratio - should be paper A6
- Too thin → Protruding camera, rather than longer battery life and flush lens
- Ugly antenna bands
- No OIS on basic model
- Base storage should be 32GB
- No wireless charging
- No iPhone 6C with all-plastic back
- No sapphire screen
