VIDEO – Apple said Monday its sales figures of its new smartphones. He beat the record set with the iPhone 5s and 5c last year.
The launch of the iPhone 6 is flawless. On Monday, Apple announced that its two new smartphones reached record levels of sales for their first weekend of marketing. As many iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Over 10 million were purchased in the ten countries where they are marketed since Friday. Most of the 9 million iPhone sales and 5c 5s set last year fought. “Sales for the weekend launch exceeded our expectations and we could not be happier,” welcomed Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. Unlike previous years, Apple does not provide the number of parallel installations of iOS 8, the new system available since last Wednesday.
The 10 million this year include 4 million pre-orders in just 24 harvested hours. Apple had indicated that it would struggle to meet demand. Today, it is difficult to find an iPhone 6 in stores or have it delivered immediately. Deliveries of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus can take two to three weeks. On classifieds sites like eBay or Le Bon Coin, smartphones are trading at more than a thousand.
10 million claimed by Apple is a good score against the forecasts of analysts , who had forecast a range of 7 to 10 million. They emphasized the risks of shortage, but also the lack of marketing in China and cheaper models that could inflate sales figures. Apple has ordered 80 million iPhone 6 at its Chinese subcontractors, according to industry sources in Asia.
If the market shares of Apple fell in smartphones, it remains unbeatable small set speed records of sale. Samsung has taken a month to distribute 11 million Galaxy S5 last spring and 10 million Galaxy S4 there one year. The iPhone is even a product that sells the world’s fastest. We must turn to the world of video games (12 million GTA 5 in a day) and books (15 million Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows ) to see such results. But with iPhone sold from 709 euros, the turnover in three days Apple is unmatched.
