Initial weekends of terminal launches iPhone are those in which the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), sells the most terminals in the shortest period of time, setting record after record every year. The reality is that the sales of these 3-day weekends, from Friday to Sunday, are actually sales for 10 days, considering that Apple also includes sales made through pre-orders. Even so, during this period Apple sells more iPhone terminals than any other smartphone manufacturer, and now we know exactly how many units are bought every second.
A website thought create some animations to show us how many terminals iPhone were sold by Apple on the occasion of each launch, so we can compare each year and model separately. By accessing the website, you will start a counter next to each iPhone model and you will be able to see for each individual how many units were sold during the period in which you follow the respective website. The idea itself is interesting because it shows us in a very simple way how important iPhones are for the Apple company and what it means to sell a lot in a short period of time.
As you would have expected, iPhones launched in recent years had the highest sales figures in the 3 days of launch, Apple setting new records. As usual we talk about records that are broken year after year, but in 2014 there was the smallest difference compared to the previous year, Apple breaking its previous record by only 1 million units, but that without an extremely important country. What will happen in 2015 no one knows, but we will probably see sales of over 10 million units in one weekend of release.
