It was to be expected, after seeing the reception of the new iPhone models and how 4 million were sold during pre-sales alone , we all expected a new record in official sales of Apple devices worldwide.

The company has already made it official: 10 million units of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus sold just three days after they were launched on September 19, despite the fact that the company in charge of assembling the iDevices had problems with the large volume of demand and even had to hire hundreds of thousands more workers.

" Sales of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus exceeded our expectations at the weekend launch, we couldn't be happier," said the company's CEO after receiving news of the success of the new iPhone models.

Tim Cook also thanked customers and users for making this the best launch ever, achieving a significant margin of improvement over previous years. He asserted that sales could have been even higher if they had the capacity to meet the high demand generated by the new devices. Despite some issues related to phone assembly , the company has successfully delivered millions of units to users.

The new equipment will be available in more than 20 countries starting September 26th, and in the rest of the world by the end of 2014.
