The success of Apple's new devices continues to grow, now reaching South Korea, where the first batch of pre-orders sold out in just minutes across the country's three main mobile carriers. The official launch in South Korea is expected this Friday, October 23rd, an incredible achievement that demonstrates Apple's global popularity.

Apple has dealt a low blow to Samsung on its own turf, and even more so now with the arrival of the iPhone 6s.

Apple has not commented on the matter.

One of the phone companies that achieved impressive results in the number of orders was KT, which had around 10.000 orders in just one minute and had to stop pre-orders only 10 minutes after opening them , something incredible, while LG Uplus, another of the phone companies that managed to have a great impact, stopped its pre-order option only five minutes after it became available.

In less than 30 minutes all available units were pre-ordered

SK Telecom had the longest-running pre-order period, with pre-orders selling out in 30 minutes. The company also refused to disclose the number of units sold. A detail known only to those who missed out but persisted in trying to secure pre-orders is that KT offered a second round of pre-orders, but the official number of units sold in that second round was not released.

The first batch of pre-orders for the new iPhones was a huge success in South Korea.

It is important to inform users that the official arrival date for pre-orders was scheduled for last week, but there was a delay for unknown reasons. Apple has not commented on this . What is obvious, however, is that despite the strong competition Apple faces in South Korea from Samsung and LG, the popularity of the iPhone is undeniable.
