Apple is going to order a record number of new widescreen iPhone models, increasing the order to 85-90 million,
reports The Wall Street Journal. Last year, the order was 70-80 million units of smartphones with a display size of 4.7-5.5 inches.
The company's entry into the market of large smartphones was a little slow, but this year sales of new iPhones are going very well. So, in the first half of the fiscal year, the corporation sold 135.6 million iPhones, which is 43% more than in the same period of the previous year. Before the iPhone 6, the maximum diagonal of Apple’s smartphone was 4 inches.
Recall that the announcement of new models of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus was held in early September 2014. The cost of smartphones was $ 199 (contract) for the iPhone 6 (16 GB) and $ 299 (contract) for the iPhone 6 Plus.
