Apple reports record sales of iPhone 6s, 6s Plus in first weekend
- 9 years ago
Apple said on Monday it had sold more than 13 million iPhone 6s and 6s Pluses during their first weekend on the market, setting a record for its marquee product.
"Customers' feedback is incredible, and they are loving 3D Touch and Live Photos," Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said in a statement.
Analysts had said Apple was virtually assured to set a new record for iPhone sales with the inclusion of China, which many expect will soon be the company's largest market.
But the figures announced on Monday suggest Apple's iPhone sales were up overall, said FBR Capital Markets senior analyst Daniel Ives.
Moor Insight & Strategy analyst Patrick Moorhead said the sales figures also suggested Apple seized some market share from Samsung Electronics Co Ltd , its chief rival in the smartphone market.
