Apple has commented on iPhone 6s pre-orders, revealing that it's on pace to beat last years 10 million unit first weekend record, reports CNBC.

"Customer response to iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus has been extremely positive and preorders this weekend were very strong around the world," the company said in a statement. "We are on pace to beat last year's 10 million unit first-weekend record when the new iPhones go on sale Sept. 25."

"As many customers noticed, the online demand for iPhone 6S Plus has been exceptionally strong and exceeded our own forecasts for the preorder period," the company also wrote. "We are working to catch up as quickly as we can, and we will have iPhone 6S Plus as well as iPhone 6S units available at Apple retail stores when they open next Friday."

Although, Apple sold out of all iPhone 6 Plus on the first day of pre-orders, the company typically doesn't comment on sales until a press release following launch weekend.
