According to a report from Chinese website Tencent, consumers across the country may have preordered at least 20 million iPhone 6 and 6 Plus ahead of Friday launch.
According to CNET, the report says that Chinese mobile carriers and e-commerce site Jingdong Mall are responsible for 20 million preorders of the iPhone units.
Jingdong Mall snagged 9.5 million preorders while China's three major mobile carriers, China Telecom, China Mobile and China Unicorn accounted for 10 million of the preorders.
