This easy beats their record previously held by iPhone 5 at 2 million.

http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/15/preorders-iphone-6/

Apple today announced that it has processed more than four million iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus pre-orders in the first day of pre-launch sales in the select countries that started accepting orders on September 12. This figure doubles Apple's previously announced record of two million pre-order sales for the iPhone 5 in 2012.

I think Android still is no.1 unless something has changed?

And to think Apple use to make computers.

No, just let them go. It will be more fun that way.

Android is killing shit on the low to mid-range end. Technically, Android won the OS WARZ if we're counting global availability of the operating system. There are android ovens... We're talking ovens not smartphones but ovens.

With that said, isheep strike again but, but, but, LG had a record year for smartphone sales and Samsung Galaxy owners line up to buy Samsung devices. Does that make them sheep?

Here is an Apple thread congratulating Apple on a tremendous business accomplishment. How many posts will be about a completly different, competing product?

Congrats to Apple for having the greatest marketing plan ever, they are the only mass consumer electronic company which can sell you inferior hardware and make it seem superior. My android from 2012 was just as good as iPhone 6. Heck even I wanted the iPhone 6 purely for the aesthetics. but when I read the specs it would of been a huge downgrade fro my galaxy s 5

Those annoyingly bitter ads from their competitors surely are working, it seems..?

You're forgetting Nintendo.

The difference is people can have one more more consoles from different companies, but that's not the same for phones (usually).

 

[Zoned]

WiiU...

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Nintendo doesn't do a good job at marketing or making their inferior hardware seem superior.

The DS is the 2nd highest selling game system of all time and the Wii is 5th.

But phones significantly cost more.

You are right in a lot of ways. But Samsung hardware is hampered by a shitty os and shitty bloatware by Samsung imo. No to mention that updates to android take forever and are not guaranteed. My note 8 os is a mess to use. Also the build quality of many Samsung phones I've used is questionable. That said, I was very very close to getting a note 4. Mostly because of the pen and gear vr.

it's a pretty good phone tbh

Ask the Apple fan that brought up Android.

Need a selling point for the 6S and 6+S next year.

 

[BocoDragon]

Impossible. I saw some of those numbers are less than the numbers on other phones.

Not the price number though... hehe.

 

[botty]

People still carry Android phones in 2014?

 

[KHarvey16]

1GB of Ram...

And clearly almost no one cares. Developers certainly don't.

I would buy a 6S next year even if it came with 1GB RAM again, I just prefer iOS

At least one developer on this very forum cares. He said as much.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

yes. Apple phones sell a shit ton. Android compatible phones sell a shit ton. At some point this is going to become as silly as having heated Coke vs Pepsi sales debates, and calling people who prefer Pepsi "sheep".
