"The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collection is probable. Product is considered delivered to the customer once it has been shipped and title and risk of loss have been transferred. For most of the Company’s product sales, these criteria are met at the time the product is shipped. "
And Apple usually sells out on launch. So sold is more than likely the same as sell--through.

Probably pretty close. There will be iPhones available in the channel, just perhaps not the most popular versions meaning most made their way into an end-users hands.
[...]The situation was reminiscent of 2014, when the iPhone 6 Plus, Apple's inaugural large-screen phone, sold out and went to delayed shipping almost as soon as pre-orders opened at midnight on Sept. 12.
However, Apple's statement did not repeat last year's claim of four million iPhones sold over the three-day weekend of pre-orders, hinting that early sales were lower this time. Also notable was the tentative assertion that sales were on pace -- a way to leave some wiggle room -- to best 2014's 10 million record.

Believe it or not I was at the MacRumors today site slaying some trolls over there. That place is ridiculous. I'd say 80% of the people there are Apple haters. Bunch of losers.
Lost cause.
MacRumors is a cesspool. I don't even bother with that site, stopped going a couple of years ago. (Btw, didn't someone spot Benjamin Frost there? If so, does anything more need to be said?).

yeah it went downhill...seems to me it coincided with their decision to eliminate downvoting -- trolls can get top ranked spots now in the article summaries.
yep, BF was there for sure, spouting his usual nonsense.
Whichever way you cut it, this is fucking impressive. Don't forget there was massive pent up demand last year for a larger phone, and it was also completely redesigned which ups the wow factor.
It's one thing to develop something like the 6S. But it's astounding how they can manufacture or in such massive quantities. At that level of quality and precision.
There is some truth to that. For one thing, I'm not seeing the "disappointment" over the iPhone 6s' "stale" design that usually accompanies the "S" revision. It seems that Apple's aggressive and thorough updating of just about every component (not to mention a new rose gold color) in the iPhone 6s has paid off. It looks the same, but it's completely upgraded and not just in specs. 3D Touch looks to be a defining change in how iOS operates on the iPhone. Even if Apple wasn't planning to use it elsewhere, iPhone 6s users will begin to miss peek and pop behavior on the iPad and even the Mac.

Apple had always had production limitation at launch due to manufacturing / technology scaling difficulties. The 6 and 6 Plus was properly first without one, And 6S's taptic engine has already been tested and scaled well with the introduction of Apple Watch and Macbook.
There are several factors at play, but one that doesn't seem to get much attention is that this was a shorter launch weekend for an iPhone due to September 11. Instead preorders in many markets commenced on Saturday instead of Friday as they normally would.
Naturally the other interesting factor is China, they weren't included in the weekend for the 6.
In total one might expect it to be "on pace" from last year, even though it's an "s" variant, which typically garner less immediate upgrades.

Unbelievable. Lack of numbers mean failure for only Apple.
