That's like double the number for the iPhone 5 from two years ago. The deliveries will start on Friday and will continue through October. According to analysts estimations, based on pre-orders so far, the sales for first-weekend could be up to 10 million.

Because of this, the first weekend sales are typically more indicative of supply than demand," they said.
