According to Reuters Apple Inc (AAPL), said on Monday that advance orders of its new iPhones were on pace to beat the 10 million units the previous versions logged in their first weekend last year, a feat that analysts attributed to the inclusion of sales from China.

The Chinese debut of the preceding models, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, was delayed last year as the company awaited approval from regulators. Many analysts say China is poised to overtake the United States as Apples biggest market.

Apple Inc did not disclose the specific number of advance orders it received for the new iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. Analysts had predictable about 4.5 million for the first 24 hours, contrast with 4 million during the first day last year.

Apple began taking preorders on Saturday for the phones, which will start shipping Sept. 25.

The company said it was working to catch up to demand for the iPhone 6S Plus, the larger of the two new phones, which exceeded its forecasts for the preorder period.

Apple has this track record of outperforming its own outperformance, but the iPhone 6 looks like an extraordinarily tough act to follow, he said. The fact that they are fast out of the gate with this refresh is a very encouraging sign.

Last week Apple declared the phones, in addition to a new TV set-top box that responds to voice commands, but the new products underwhelmed many social media commentators and investors.
