How do pancakes sell?![]()
Apple's/ATT USA site alone crash while trying to handle over 600K preorders for the iphone 4 back on June 15th 2010.
http://news.cnet.com/8301-31021_3-20007906-260.html
Some people think that was world wide sales but that was just Apple's USA site for ATT which is a crazy amount and that amount probably would have been higher because probably 1/3 of people trying to pre order just gave up. I spent hours trying to preorder 3 iphones and only one order got through before I had to wake up to go to the store.
However, I predict Verizon won't even reach half the 600K preorder ATT set.
There are a couple of reasons and this isn't a "bash Verizon" thing. I am strictly giving my well thought out reason.
1. The main reason is that there simply aren't enough Verizon customers eligible for "full subsidy" $199/299 upgrades. ATT bent over backwards trying to "lock" people into 2 year contracts before their exclusivity ended. So ATT moved up plenty of people who normally would not have been eligible for the full subsidy upgrade (people were moved up to 6 months on their eligibility date). So more customers eligible, more sales. It's just simple math.
Verizon isn't bending over backwards trying to move up their customer's eligibility date like Apple. So Verizon won't capture the common upgraders who will want to wait until their full subsidy.
2. Number 2 is probably a more minor reason (except for diehards). But there are some people who anticipate a new iPhone coming sometime this summer and waiting a few 4-5 months is worth it to have the lastest/greatest. Verizon customers have waited at least the past 2 years so what's another 4-5 months for them. So this isn't a "new" iphone being released. Verizon is getting a phone that's been on the market for 7 months now.
So I am glad Verizon is finally getting the iPhone (I am a longtime ATT customer).
Hope everyone is happy finally (except Sprint/tmobile usa customers!).
But those are my reasons why Verizon will not match ATT's iphone 4 preorders.

I bet lots of Verizon iphone 4 users will be mad when iphone 5 comes out later this year since they will have to pay full price for the iphone since they have a 2 year contract. They will all wish they had waited for the iphone 5.

LOL. Some one was completely wrong.
Not necessarily wrong. ATT/Apple had 600K preorders on the the first day (june 15th alone before their systems crash).
I don't know if Apple/Verizon will release results of how many preorders they had for the CDMA iphone.
I am talking about first day results. So we have to compare June 15 2010 ATT preorders (600K) with Feb 3rd 2011 Verizon preorders.
Until Verizon releases numbers of their preorders sold yesterday, I will stand by my original post.
You have to use simple math. ATT and Verizon have similar customers (over 90 million customers). But ATT allows much more pre existing customers to move up their upgrade dates by 6 months. Add in more outside eligible people preordering iphones on June 15th.
Verizon only let existing customers upgrade with the pre orders yesterday.
Who know how many Apple/Verizon sold yesterday. It could be 300K? But Verizon/Apple is having another preorder Feb 9th which makes you wonder if Apple/Verizon limited preorder sales to drive up demand.
Well with all those factors being different, is it even fair to compare? You're pretty much admitting it's not apples to apples, right?

Hi Hater!

Seems like Verizon breaks first day sales record with iPhone 4 pre-orders -- in only two hours.
It took Verizon only two hours of having the iPhone 4 available for pre-order to break its all-time record for first day sales of a single device.
So yes VZW beat att's 24 hour iPhone 4 sales in only two hours
Haha. This reminds me of the infamous AT&T iPhone 4 launch thread where the one guy said something like, "For the last time you stupid idiots the iPhone will not be delivered before the actual launch day and you will not get it early".
Wonder where that guy went....
I just don't get these Verizon-ATT threads. News flash, these are not your penises and your phone is not a ruler.

I have to agree with rdowns though. I swear, MacRumors should change its name to Soapbox for emo kids.

How on Earth did you come to that conclusion? What does Verizon beating its *OWN* record for pre-orders have to do with what ATT did?How is that crow for breakfast?
