That figure is significant consider that the phones didn't debut until September 19, specifically in the US, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, Singapore and the UK.
"In major European economies, the US and Australia, Apple's share of sales has risen," Kantar strategic insight director Dominic Sunnebo said in a statement.
