It's estimated that pre-orders for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in China reached 20 million from October 10-13, according to a report from China-based QQ relayed by DigiTimes.
The report stated that pre-orders on website Jingdong Mall reached nearly 10 million over the period, which coupled with orders direct to major telecom providers and Apple pushed total orders to 20 million. On the Jingdong Mall site, 4.66 million of the orders were for the iPhone 6 and 4.82 million for the iPhone 6 Plus, the report added.
Apple announced an opening weekend record of 10 million iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus sales. Earlier today, the company announced that 36 more countries would get the device by the end of the month.
That's a mess 'o phones. It'll be interesting to see how well Apple copes with the demand, especially given they're now ramping up the new iPad production.
Wow! That's a lot! That's apple strength people want apple, because only apple make apple, whereas manufacturers who use android can disappear off the scene very quickly, once another manufacturer who also uses android offers a competitive product at a cheaper price.
