Yeah but did it get this much hype and excitement and I am pretty when the Samsung galaxy was released they had plenty of stock. When my telco made available the iPhone 5 for pre order they run out of everything.
Correction...
Apple has made a huge mistake with those numbers... that is no 2.000.000 pre-orders, but 2.000.001 , because here in Portugal we just can pre-order it middle this week!

Awesome
And to all those people yesterday saying:
"Apple's Distortion Reality Field again, they are posting sold out within an hour, because they programmed their online stock to show only 200,000"
"This is typical Apple BS, just for a good show"
Well, looks like they just kicked every other cell phone manufacturer (including their previous' selves) out of the ballpark.

2 million people are just going with the stream.
Apple is not a "niche"/"we do it different" brand anymore.
Apple are given people what they want - just to make money (and thats ok - and good for the investers!). I think instead they should be more innovative and keep on designing things that surprises me. Keep on giving me things that are more "nice to have" than "need to have" because of aesthetic reasons.
The new ipod linie is a step back (maybe 2 gens.) if you look a the design - where is my very loved click-wheel? The Iphone is just more of the same.
Apple is a huge succes, no doubt! But for my money I want to be surprised and design-overwhelmed rather than getting the (maybe) best performing product. I guess its just not a brand for me anymore..

This can't be right! Apple was intentionally limiting supply to build hype.
2 million orders...
3 dozen being delivered on Friday.
I am so bored right now that if it was available in my country, I would head out and buy a couple of iphone fives
Best product they've ever made? I'm still in love with the MBA and unibody MBP the most. Having said that, hello new iPhone on Friday!
I would think the majority of sales are not from people upgrading each year - this is the wave of people (like me) who are upgrading from the iPhone 4 after more than two years. Pent up demand.
Hey, if you want a company to put your personal interests ahead of its own financial interests, start your own company. Apple's not a charity.
I'm still in love my MacBook Pro as it was the first Apple product I ever purchased back in 2005, so I'm a tad bit partial. Can't wait for the iPhone 5 though!
I'm glad Apple has that many in their reorder stock as well as store availability on Friday. Well done Apple
Yeah AT&T won't let me early upgrade. My wife burned my upgrade when she broke her 3GS and her update isn't available till oct 12. I'm not paying an extra $149 to get it a month early. In store they told me I should be able to upgrade on the 1st. Crossing fingers.
I had a feeling that the sales numbers would pass the 4s but doubling them is more than I expected. Great showing, especially considering the number of people I saw saying that they were disappointed and didn't plan on ordering.
I would imagine that quite a few people skip the "s" upgrades in order to be able to upgrade the cheap way when a redesigned phone comes out. That is what I did this past time when the 4s was announced.

How can they sell 0.001 of a phone?
