Apple will only say Watch sales are ahead of its (unrevealed) projections, and that it’s in the early days of building a retail presence for its new gadget. Apple has reported that weekend sales of the new iPhones have surpassed analysts’ prediction of 12-13 million units.

This sales record didn’t last long, however, as the freshly released iPhone 6S and 6S Plus models have already managed to soar by their predecessors, establishing a new record for fastest-selling iPhone.
The company said iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus will be available in more than 40 additional countries beginning October 9 including Italy, Mexico, Russia, Spain and Taiwan.

These include the ability to take “Live Photos“, which are like short videos that the phones capture with every picture and the addition of 3D Touch, a new feature for the touchscreen that senses how hard a user is pushing on the screen to trigger different actions.

Unlike previous year, Apple released that iPhone 6s and 6s Plus in China on opening day. Jackson said of the situation, “Topping what the iPhone 6 achieved looks like a tall order, even for Apple, with its history of outdoing itself”.

Locally, miserable weather may have resulted in shorter lines than past year, but Vodafone, Telstra and Optus representatives all told CyberShack that they expected the new handsets to be in high demand.
The New York Times is reporting that several Wall Street analyst firms projected that Apple would sell less than 12 million devices this weekend, meaning that Apple beat the forecasts.
With its strong reviews, powerful camera, and sexy curved-glass face, Samsung’s latest Galaxy smartphone is considered to be a real threat to the iPhone. In 2014, Apple sold 10m iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in the same period.
It’s normal, of course, for Apple to run out of available online inventory for many of its iPhone models ahead of its launch weekend.
