The new iPhone6s and iPhone6s Plus just smashed last year's record set by the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus handsets, that's according to their maker Apple Inc. The company revealed earlier today through its Chief Executive Officer Timothy Cook that it sold a whooping 13 million of the 2015 iPhone models in just 72 hours of launch in United States and other nations on September 25. Thus beating  analysts expectations of 12 million.

In the same period last year, Apple revealed that it sold more than 10 million iPhone6 and iPhone 6 handsets and said it was their best opening weekend sales ever. This new feat  just shatters any previous first weekend sales results in the Cupertino-based company's history. The Company  CEO shared the milestone report in a statement today.

I take a deep sigh. Here we go again. I don't believe Apple sold that amount of the new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus handsets in its first launch weekend. I think Apple made up the figure.They are lying through their teeth.For heaven's sake when the phones went on sale, only a few people showed up at the company's stores to get the new handsets.Don't tell me they were able to record the feat from sales in China or  its online stores. Because I won't buy it.

Anyway, Apple said it would make the new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus smartphones available to customers in 40 countries next week--Nigeria might be included.
