Apple saw record pre-order numbers for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus with the former notching up 4 million pre-orders since its initial announcement. After releasing on September 19th, Apple CEO Tim Cook has announced that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus sold a record 10 million units in the past three days.

“Sales for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus exceeded our expectations for the launch weekend, and we couldn’t be happier. We would like to thank all of our customers for making this our best launch ever, shattering all previous sell-through records by a large margin. While our team managed the manufacturing ramp better than ever before, we could have sold many more iPhones with greater supply and we are working hard to fill orders as quickly as possible.”

The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus differ from previous models by featuring Apple’s largest screens yet, with 4.7 inch and 5.5 inch screens respectively. They’re also apparently capable of higher resolution gaming than the Xbox One and PS4. What are your thoughts on the success of the iPhone 6? Let us know in the comments.

Apple and EA executives are both known to make some ridiculous statements. One claims micro-transactions not taking off are due to the stubbornness of consumers, the other believes that its cloud storage platform is completely secure. Of course, Apple also said that its iPhone 6 was capable of running games at higher resolutions than the Xbox One and PS4 (which itself is a dicey statement).

We didn’t expect EA’s mobile division executive Frank Gibeau to follow it up by saying that the iPhone 6’s specs compare to the PS4 and Xbox One.

Speaking to Games Industry International, Gibeau said, “With the retina display and the improved processor, combined with the Metal [graphics] capabilities and 128 GB of memory, that gets you to a device that’s on par [sic] with next-generation consoles. That’s moving perfectly into our strike zone.”

Is he talking about the same consoles that have 8 GB of RAM apiece and custom eight core AMD CPUs within? What are your thoughts on this madness? Let us know below.
