Apple has sold 13m of its new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus - a new record
Despite only being available in a handful of launch markets, Apple has sold over 13 million of the new iPhones so far - a new record, just three days after going on sale. Over 40 additional countries will be able to get their hands on the devices from October 9, expanding to more than 130 markets by the end of this year.
To put that sales figure into a broader context, it took Microsoft three months to sell 8.4 million of its Lumia handsets; and BlackBerry - which has just confirmed that it is launching an Android flagship - sold just 800,000 smartphones during its last quarter.
Meanwhile, the iOS 9 update continues to roll out to several generations of Apple's earlier mobile devices - and that release too has broken company records. Apple announced last week that a staggering 50% of all eligible devices had upgraded within the first 72 hours of availability; by comparison, it took a full year for iOS 8 to reach 87% adoption.

Cgallagher21Lia I really don't get the point in a 6s then a 6s Plus? Does exactly the same thing.
Just a bigger display, optical image stabilization, and a few other things differ the two.
what are you tak=ling about? The 6s & 6sPlus have the same technology as each other, maybe read up a little more.

I finally decided to update from my iPhone 5 that was getting rather beat up for the 6S. And honestly I really like it. The 3D touch is extremely useful and I find myself using it more and more. Since I never had a iPhone 6, I just started using touch ID and it's really nice and the screen and phone is so much bigger then the iPhone 5, it's really nice. I also really like the taptic feedback it gives you, it responds to your touch really well.
