Apple started accepting preorders for the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus last weekend, and says the new phones are “on pace” to beat last year’s record of 10 million units sold on the first weekend of in-store sales.

“Customer response to iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus has been extremely positive and preorders this weekend were very strong around the world,” Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller says in a statement. In fact, Apple claims online demand for iPhone 6s Plus has been stronger than expected. But don’t worry. The company promises to have plenty of them available.

The preorders bode well for Cupertino. Some investors have worried about whether Apple, which has a market cap of almost $658 billion, can maintain the sales momentum its cash cow has long enjoyed. While demand for new iPhones appears to remain high, some analysts say sales are “on pace” to beat last year’s record because this is the first time customers in China have been able to pre-order iPhones.

Apple’s momentum ultimately will depend on whether it can continue beating last year’s record numbers, or if the people who wanted new phones already have preordered them. Investors seem appeased for now. Apple stock rose as much as 2.68 percent on Monday, closing at $115.31.

Originally posted by jomarr It kinda is a big deal since the resolution of the camera is bumped from 8MP to 12MP. Yes, Androids have over 12MP now but image processing is still better with the iPhones so the 6S may shoot better photos than the S6 family (Standard, Edge, Edge+ and Note5). But of course, people with the 6 shouldn't upgrade. It's not a big deal.
