Apple claimed that it sold nearly 10 million iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus units in the initial three days of the release. These 10 million units generated revenue of almost $7 billion in merely the first three days. The two new devices iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus certainly marked a new record in the history of Apple.
The Samsung, the South Korean company also sells a large number of Android phones. However, even products of Samsung such as Salmon Galaxy Note 4 never produced such a huge profit for the company. Last year, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 took 60 days in order to sell 10 million units worldwide. Whereas, Samsung Galaxy S5 took 27 days to trade 10 million units globally.
Therefore, it is doubtful that Samsung Galaxy Note 4 would make revenue equivalent to iPhone 6 in a short period of time of three days.
On the other hand, Android lovers are criticizing Apple for copying larger display size of Android Phones. But Apple still got an extremely incredible response from the customers on the launch of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Consumers really liked the alluring features and display of iPhone 6.
The iPhone 6 gives a tough competition to Samsung Galaxy S5, due to its screen size.
Apple sold 10 million iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus like hot cakes. The countries that predominantly contributed in this large sale are the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, Singapore and the United Kingdom. However, the company did not announce the individual figure of sales of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
Thus, Apple will probably sell further 10 million units till the second shipping of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The company is planning to release the next consignment on the 26th of September. In the next shipment Apple will ensure that both the two products would reach 20 different countries of the world.
Apple has not put up iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus for sale in China since it needs to pass through the last authoritative circle.
The demand of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is certainly very high. People are really sleeping outside the stores just to get hold of this new device. Moreover, some stores have increased the price of iPhone 6 and customers are gladly paying extra money for the product.
Tim Cook, CEO of Apple stated that the sales of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus went beyond their expectations.
