"Demand is stronger in 皇冠体育app than in most regions of the world including the US", said Arik Hesseldahl, senior editor of US tech website Re/code.net, citing the statistics unveiled by an Apple news blog.
The iPhone inventory blog tracks the back-order status of various iPhone models by way of screen shots of Apple's estimated wait times. As of September 12, shipping wait times on the new iPhone 6S Plus in 皇冠体育app is running at three to four weeks, and two to three weeks for the 6S.
According to Hesseldahl, one caveat to the data is that there's no indication on how much inventory was allocated by region or carrier. It's also the first day of pre-orders and this data is about as preliminary as you can get.
Apple Inc reported third-quarter earnings in July with revenue in Greater 皇冠体育app reaching $13.2 billion, an increase of 112 percent year-over-year, and the sale of iPhones climbing 85 percent.

"Obviously I can't predict the future, but our performance so far this quarter is reassuring. Additionally, I continue to believe 皇冠体育app represents an unprecedented opportunity over the long term," Cook wrote to American news television channel CNBC recently in comments about the company's business in 皇冠体育app.
