Apple on Monday announced sales figures of its latest iPhones, claiming it has sold over 13 million iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus units since it went on sale on Friday in select countries.
“Sales for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus have been phenomenal, blowing past any previous first-weekend sales results in Apple’s history,” Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive, said in a statement.
The Cupertino giant has managed to break its record of 10 million units set by previous-gen iPhones sold in 2014 during the opening week. These high sales numbers can be attributed to the growing popularity of iPhones in the Chinese market, which is soon expected to become the company’s largest market.
In the press release, Apple also confirmed that the new iPhones will be launching in 40 more countries starting October 9 which include Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Greenland, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Maldives, Mexico, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Taiwan. While the company is planning to enter more than 130 countries by year end.
