Apple sells a record 13m units of new iPhone during debut weekend
San Francisco
APPLE Inc sold a record 13 million iPhones during the debut weekend of its latest handsets, as enthusiasts from Beijing to New York rushed to stores to be the first with the new devices.
The results were in line with analysts' expectations and boosted by sales in China, an increasingly critical region for Apple's business. The company sold 10 million iPhones during the debut of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus last year, even though the world's most populous country wasn't part of the initial release.
