Apple Sells 2 Million iPhone 5 Units in the First 24 Hours of Pre-Order Availability


Apple has just sent out an official announcement to confirm why your iPhone 5 is taking till October to ship. It’ because pre-orders topped two million in just 24 hours since the company opened pre-order availability.

Scoring more than double the points of the previous iPhone, the new iPhone 5 beats the iPhone 4S by one million units, to achieve a total of 2 million pre-orders in less than a full day.

Note that pre-orders for the iPhone 5 kicked off on Friday. Which means Apple is not taking into account any pre-orders that hit its web store after that.

The company doesn't mention whether or not it is tracking pre-orders taken by the likes of Walmart, AT&T, Sprint, Verizon Wireless, select Best Buy, RadioShack, and Target. But you can expect new record-shattering numbers in a few more days.

Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing, couldn’t be more proud of their achievement. He said, “iPhone 5 pre-orders have shattered the previous record held by iPhone 4S and the customer response to iPhone 5 has been phenomenal.”

“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,” Apple’s marketing guy added.

The new iPhone 5 will be physically available this Friday, September 21, at 356 Apple retail locations across the United States, beginning with 8 a.m. local time, the company said.

The Cupertino, California-based computer giant confirms that, “Every customer who buys an iPhone 5 at an Apple retail store will be offered free Personal Setup service, helping them customize their iPhone 5 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.”

The international rollout is planned for September 28.
