MADRID (MarketWatch) — Apple Inc. announced blowout numbers for the first weekend of sales for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models, which wasn’t a huge surprise given the tweeted photos of long lines and the company’s own tip-off about preorders.

Last week, the company AAPL, -3.17% reported more than four million preorders of its latest iPhones during the first 24 hours, also a record. On Monday, Apple said it sold 10 million iPhone 6 devices in the first weekend, which exceeded last year’s first-weekend total for its 5S and 5C models.
