Apple has announced that they have received over one million iPhone 4S pre-orders on the first 24 hours.
"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."
That number tops the previous record for Apple held by the iPhone 4 which sold 600,000 units in pre-order on the first day. AT&T previously announced that they alone were responsible for 200,000 iPhone 4S pre-orders.

The iPhone 4S launches officially on October 14th when it will become available in retail stores. Pre-orders should arrive to customers at about the same time.

So much for a phone that just has an S stuck on the box am I right? The ones that nobody would buy. All the haters were right after all.

FALSE.

Apple sure has come a long way. The original iPhone took 74 days to reach this milestone. Now the preorders are blowing right past that.

CUPERTINO, California—September 10, 2007—Apple® today announced it sold its one millionth iPhone™ yesterday, just 74 days after its introduction on June 29. iPhone combines three devices into one—a mobile phone, a widescreen iPod®, and the best mobile Internet device ever—all based on Apple’s revolutionary multi-touch interface and pioneering software that allows users to control iPhone with just a tap, flick or pinch of their fingers.

“One million iPhones in 74 days—it took almost two years to achieve this milestone with iPod,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We can’t wait to get this revolutionary product into the hands of even more customers this holiday season.”

Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh. Today, Apple continues to lead the industry in innovation with its award-winning computers, OS X operating system and iLife and professional applications. Apple is also spearheading the digital media revolution with its iPod portable music and video players and iTunes online store, and has entered the mobile phone market this year with its revolutionary iPhone.

Apart from an extraordinary device, there is some point for this fantastic data:

-17 months from the iPhone 4
-2 more carriers in the US (Verizon and Sprint)
-More countries available at first day (at least Spain and Italy)

Blah blah blah the 4S is a flop..... blah blah blah Nexus Prime..... blah blah blah Apple will be out of business within 2 months without Steve Jobs.... blah blah blah non one will buy this because everyone will wait for the iPhone 5...... blah blah blah Apple really missed the mark and there's nothing new here......
wait, what? Oh, it's a wild hit? And Apple's more robust than ever, with unprecedented demand? And Tim Cook knows what he's doing? And no one's clamoring for the Nexus after all? My bad! Carry on. :rolleyes::apple:
