2 Million iPhone 5 Pre-orders in First 24 Hours
Apple touted the fact that in the first 24 hours, more than 2 million pre-orders for the new iPhone 5 were recorded.
It seems that the new iPhone 5 is twice as popular as the previous model, the iPhone 4S. When the iPhone 4S became available for pre-order, more than 1 million pre-orders for the device were recorded in the first 24 hours. In the iPhone 5’s case, the number of pre-orders went up by 100%. Or to put it in other words, in the first 24 hours, more than 2 million pre-orders for the iPhone 5 were recorded. Apple made this information public on Monday, the 17th of September, two days before the iPhone goes on sale at 356 Apple retail stores across the US.
“iPhone 5 pre-orders have shattered the previous record held by iPhone 4S and the customer response to iPhone 5 has been phenomenal,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “iPhone 5 is the best iPhone yet, the most beautiful product we’ve ever made, and we hope customers love it as much as we do.”
