Apple's iPhone 6 & 6 Plus off to best start in iPhone history

Last updated

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are off to a record start, having sold more units in the first month than any other iPhones in Apple's history.

Calling it the biggest and most successful iPhone launch ever, Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook revealed the success at a special event in Cupertino, Calif., on Thursday. Though he boasted of high sales, Cook declined to get into specifics, simply saying that it was the best first-month sales ever.

"And I don't mean by a little," Cook said. "By a lot. A whole lot."

Sales for the first two weeks of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be seen in Apple's results for the September quarter, which will be revealed next Tuesday.
