Apple has sold 13m of its new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus - a new record
Despite only being available in a handful of launch markets, Apple has sold over 13 million of the new iPhones so far - a new record, just three days after going on sale. Over 40 additional countries will be able to get their hands on the devices from October 9, expanding to more than 130 markets by the end of this year.
To put that sales figure into a broader context, it took Microsoft three months to sell 8.4 million of its Lumia handsets; and BlackBerry - which has just confirmed that it is launching an Android flagship - sold just 800,000 smartphones during its last quarter.
Meanwhile, the iOS 9 update continues to roll out to several generations of Apple's earlier mobile devices - and that release too has broken company records. Apple announced last week that a staggering 50% of all eligible devices had upgraded within the first 72 hours of availability; by comparison, it took a full year for iOS 8 to reach 87% adoption.

I don't get why people spend so much on a Phone. These are like what? 500$ or so? Not worth it.

This just shows how much people are willing to pay for the same thing every year.

Stonerzard Other than Apple Pay, I don't see any reason to why these are desirable. There are so many cheaper phones with much better specs that the iPhone. Does nobody even compare the iPhones to other phones before buying it? Because that's the only logical explanation that I can find as to why they're actually selling.
They aren't desirable at all in my opinion.

RuiCgallagher21Lia I really don't get the point in a 6s then a 6s Plus? Does exactly the same thing.
Just a bigger display, optical image stabilization, and a few other things differ the two.
what are you tak=ling about? The 6s & 6sPlus have the same technology as each other, maybe read up a little more.
they may force touch in common but some thongs are different with the camera http://www.apple.com/iphone/compare/
