From ComputerWorld: Apple today said that iPhone sales, bolstered by the new 6S and 6S Plus models, are "on pace" to break last year's record of 10 million between pre-sales opening and the close of the first weekend of retail.
But the company's claim and the calendar hinted that pre-sales of the revamped smartphones were down from last year's debuts.
"Customer response to iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus has been extremely positive and preorders this weekend were very strong around the world," an Apple spokeswoman 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 September 25."
The iPhone 6S and 6S Plus went on sale Saturday just after midnight PT, with the usual online store problems reported by some. Those who used the mobile app generally found it easier to grab a new smartphone.
