- Thousands are lining up all over the world for Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) new release of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. The record demand for the bigger-screen smartphones has already outstripped supply, with preorders selling out last week.
- The two went on sale today in Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan, before rolling out in France, Germany, Puerto Rico, Canada and the U.S.
- The iPhone release is Apple's most important event this year, with the devices generating more than half of the company’s $171B revenue in 2013.
