Until Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) releases official iPhone 7 sales numbers, traders and analysts will continue trying to piece together the puzzle using third-party data and anecdotal evidence. According to the latest data from TickerTags, social media buzz suggests iPhone 7 mentions are elevated but have not eclipsed record levels of previous models.

During the first two weeks of their respective launches (as measured by first available date of pre-order), normalized organic mentions related to pre-orders and orders of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus models on Twitter were 89 percent higher than the number of mentions of the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.

While the iPhone 7 seems to be generating more early social media chatter than the 6s models, its number of mentions have fallen 37 percent lower than mentions of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus following its launch.

While social media mention frequency doesn’t directly correlate with sales, it could be a good indicator of the relative sales performance of the devices.

On Friday, Apple stock dropped following a GfK report that iPhone 7 and 7 Plus launch weekend sales were 25 percent lower than 6s and 6s Plus launch weekend sales.
