“Apple Inc. introduced a fresh iPhone software update free of major glitches and rolled out its latest smartphones in 22 countries, moving beyond a week of apologies and facing an Internet outcry over bent handsets,” Tim Higgins reports for Bloomberg. “”
“Long lines formed at stores as Apple introduced the latest iPhones to a second wave of markets, including Russia, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates,” Higgins reports. “About 600 people lined up outside of Amsterdam’s Apple Store, with 400 customers at the Barcelona shop, the Cupertino, California-based company said.”
“Stress tests showed the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are as “tough” as other comparable phones including HTC Corp.’s HTC One M8, Consumer Reports magazine said on its website yesterday. ‘Our tests show that both IPhones seem tougher than the Internet fracas implies,’ the report said,” Higgins reports. “Demand for Apple’s new handsets has the company poised to sell more than 61 million iPhones in the last three months of the year, surpassing last year’s record 51 million sold, according to Barclays Plc.”
