Apple's iPhone 6s and 6s Plus features include a giant screen with a new pressure-sensitive 3D touch useful for games and drawing applications. It senses how deeply you press the display, giving you more access to do more essential things than the previous iPhones. Its design includes 7000 series aluminum and the strongest glass on any smartphone with rose gold metallic finishes. The new Apple devices introduce Live Photos, bringing still images to life and transforming them into unforgettable living memories. The device is said to be impressively fast and easy to use. Some of the consumers even believe it is the best apple device they have ever used.

Units of iPhone 6s and 6s Plus sold in millions in not less than a week after its launch. The sales this year top last year's record weekend, during which the company sold 10 million iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. One of the key factors in the device's higher figures is the early availability of the new devices in China. This year marked the first where China was one of the initial launch markets for the new iPhones.

S&P Capital IQ analyst Angelo Zino states that 76 million of Apple's iPhones will be shipped during the December quarter while FBR Capital Markets analyst Daniel Ives said that the sales of the iPhone 6S models in China are estimated between 2 million and 2.5 million which means sales outside of China reached up as much as 10% compared to last year's sale.

In addition, the company declared in a statement on Monday that the devices will launch in 40 more countries starting October 9 including Spain, Italy, Taiwan, Mexico and Russia and will be available in more than 130 countries at the end of the year, CNET reported. Apple's iPhone phenomenon continues to endure.
