The hype around the iPhone 6 phones was enough to send Apple fans as well as critics into a tizzy and now that the phones are here, everyone’s scrambling to get their hands on the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus.
In the first 24 hours of Apple announcing the phones, pre-orders poured in, touching a whopping 4 million, and that set the trend for the amazing sales figures that the two products registered in only the first weekend. While the market waited anxiously to see what the phones would look and feel like, die-hard Apple fans were already lining up in front of stores, proving that they trusted their favorite brand completely. While official prices for the phones stood between $199 and $499 along with a two-year contract, the premium being paid for the gadgets hovered around $1000 and more in the secondary market!
The weekend was of course the biggest indication of the excitement surrounding the phones. Forgoing its humble screens of 4 inches this time around, the iPhones on sale are 4.7 and 5.5 inches in size, easily giving the other ‘phablets’ in the market a run for their money. This was only one of the reasons for the phones’ mammoth popularity and combined with several other features thrown in by Apple’s latest innovations, make them a device to die for and the crazy sales numbers reflect that excitement too.
The first weekend saw sales figures for both the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus add up to a ridiculous high number of 10 million units. A record for iPhone sales for the first weekend – this, when the phone hasn’t even been made available in China, the world’s biggest smartphone market yet! Not that the Chinese were going to wait to get their hands on the phones because many who stood in line for long hours to grab these latest products from Apple were actually being paid to do it. Some of these heady gadgets are already on their way to China and other countries before official sales there even begin.
