Chance of running out?

Hey, quick question. I want to preorder an iPhone 4S, but I might have to wait until later tomorrow. Would they be sold out by tomorrow afternoon do you think? How do Apple pre-orders work? Thanks

The buzz is nowhere near close enough for it to be sold out anywhere.

I would guess that, yes the pre-orders will be closed by Friday afternoon.

Based on the past few years, plus I think Steve's untimely passing may actually boost sales on this one. Just my guess.

Last year the average person couldn't even get on apple.com come 3:05am (eastern)

Ok. Hopefully not. This is my first iPhone, switching from numerous Android devices. I'm excited, and just want it now. 🙂 Android is too slow and unpolished.

Well I hope not, that wouldn't be good. I guess I could just get it next Friday in-store.

I was going to post something like this but hadn't yet. I'm not doing anything until the Google/Samsung event next week, at the earliest. They're dubbing this the "fastest rollout ever". Hopefully they didn't just mean the amount of countries/carriers that it'll be available to, but also the number of units already produced.

If you had an iPhone 4S you could just ask Siri

I will be able to walk into Verizon on October whatever day it's coming out, I forget, and walk out with new iPhone 4S in hand.

Why are you so sure?
