It can be recalled that Apple revealed last month that its new iPhone 6s models have reached a record-high in sales, with more than 13 million units sold in just three days after it was launched. The sales for iPhone 6s and 6s Plus have surpassed last year's sales record of 10 million units in the first week after the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus were launched.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement, "Sales for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus have been phenomenal, blowing past any previous first weekend sales results in Apple's history. Customers' feedback is incredible and they are loving 3D Touch and Live Photos, and we can't wait to bring iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus to customers in even more countries on October 9."
Then on Friday, the tech giant releases the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus in more than 40 countries including Italy, Mexico, Russia, Spain and Taiwan.
On the other hand, one investment bank has done its research and has found out that iPhone 6s may have actually been "disappointing." According to Business Insider, Pacific Crest has shared its research note saying that the company believes that the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus will sell below analyst expectations that is "67 million iPhones versus consensus expectations of 76 million shipments throughout calendar Q4."
This new finding challenges what Apple has previously suggested after it reportedly hit a high sales record the weekend after launch. Moreover, the investment bank's survey has also revealed that demand has been below expectations and that "almost all carriers surveyed indicated that iPhone 6s sales were down y/y, compared to the iPhone 6."
On Oct. 27, Apple will announce its Q4 earnings for 2014 and by then the figures will be compared to the first quarter in 2016 earnings that the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus have been on sale.
