While the announcement last week about the iPhone 4S wasn’t the iPhone 5 everyone wanted, and most people seemed disappointed, it hasn’t stopped people from pre-ordering it and breaking Apple’s previous record.
Here is what Apple said:
Apple® today announced pre-orders of its iPhone® 4S have topped one million in a single day, surpassing the previous single day pre-order record of 600,000 held by iPhone 4. iPhone 4S is the most amazing iPhone yet, packed with incredible new features including Apple’s dual-core A5 chip for blazing fast performance and stunning graphics; an all new camera with advanced optics; full 1080p HD resolution video recording; and Siri™, an intelligent assistant that helps you get things done just by asking.
“We are blown away with the incredible customer response to iPhone 4S,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “The first day pre-orders for iPhone 4S have been the most for any new product that Apple has ever launched and we are thrilled that customers love iPhone 4S as much as we do.”
iPhone 4S will be available at all 245 Apple retail stores in the US beginning at 8 a.m. local time on Friday, October 14. Every customer who buys an iPhone 4S at an Apple retail store will be offered free Personal Setup service, helping them customize their iPhone 4S by setting up email, showing them new apps from the App Store™ and more, so they’ll be up and running with their new iPhone before they leave the store.
iPhone 4S includes iOS 5, the world’s most advanced mobile operating system with over 200 new features, and iCloud®, a breakthrough set of free cloud services that work seamlessly with your iPhone, iPad®, iPod touch®, Mac® or PC to automatically and wirelessly store your content in iCloud and push it to all your devices.
Have you ordered one? Go on, you can tell us!
Just out of contract on my HD2, I’m itching to order one. Problem is, if I do, will I regret it when or if the 5 comes out in as little as 6 months?
yeah, that will always be the way I think – but it took 18 months from the 4 coming out to the 4S, so who knows?
I bought Iphone4s ago. I feel good about it. In the upcoming Black friday 2011. I want to buy Iphone 4s for my brother. Thanks for the info.
