According to reports, Chinese consumers have preordered 20 million iPhone6 units in just three short days.
The reported preorders is double the number of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus units sold during launch weekend in the US and elsewhere.
A report from Chinese website Tencent claimed that Chinese mobile carriers and Chinese e-commerce site Jingdong Mall are able to get 20 million preorders of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus since preorders kicked off last Friday.
Tech site MacRumors reported that China's three major mobile carriers: China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom, snagged 10 million of the preorders, while Jingdong Mall, or JD.com, accounted for 9.5 million.
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus went on sale in the US and other countries on September 19.
Following last Friday's online preorders, the new iPhones will land in stores across China starting this Friday, October 17.
When preorders kicked off in the US and other countries on September 12, Apple captured more than 4 million in the first 24 hours.
During the actual sales launch weekend, Apple sold 10 million iPhones, half the number of preorders reported in China.
A report from Fortune called the 20 million number a "big if" but did cite an estimate from Jingdong that pointed to 9.5 million preorders for that retailer as of Monday.
iPhone 6 reservations in China reportedly hit 2 million in the first six hours.
In the fourth quarter of 2013, Apple sold a record number of iPhone 5s units in china.
The iPhone is Apple's biggest moneymaker, accounting for more than half of sales.
About 16 percent of Apple's $37.4 billion in sales in the second quarter of this year came out of China, the world's largest smartphone market.
