Even 15M would mean stagnation comparing the last year 10M, having China in opening week this year and considering China holds almost a third of iPhone sales.
Selling 13M is technically a record, but a record that shows slowdown of iPhone sales.

iPhone 6 didn’t include China and beat the sales of the 5S.

Yes – do you see how big of an ace the bigger screen was for Apple?
And it is a spend card for Apple regarding generating growth.

Consider this: Many people upgraded last year due to the increased size(s) which many has been waiting for. This year, more than likely, people who got the 6S&6S+ are the ones who decided not to upgrade last year, plus the small amount of people who just wanted an upgrade from the 6&6+.

That is true. Last year more than usual people upgraded to iPhone 6 leaving less people to upgrade this time around.
