iPhone 5 Pre-Orders have topped two million in first 24 hours, reports Apple. It set a new pre-order record for AT&T, the carrier announced today, selling faster than any previous iPhone.
The iPhone 5 became available to order on September 17th and quickly sold out of its initial stock bound for launch on the 21st. iPhone 5 will be available at 356 Apple retail stores in the US beginning at 8 a.m. local time on Friday, September 21.
Apple’s site soon telling customers to expect a wait of around 2 weeks. AT&T isn’t sharing specific numbers but called this the “most successful iPhone launch ever.”
iPhone 5 costs $199 (US) for the 16GB model and $299 (US) for the 32GB model and $399 (US) for the 64GB model with a two year contract. iPhone 5 will be available from the Apple Online Store (www.apple.com), Apple’s retail stores, and through AT&T, Sprint, Verizon Wireless, select Best Buy, RadioShack, Target and Walmart stores and select Apple Authorized Resellers.
I think it’s worth nothing saying a large portion of their iPhone sales now are going to business users. I think this space is moving WAAAAY to fast for you to say “Blackberry is for business users.” Also, I added a link to this article on our smartphone app development company Appiction’s new blog “So You Want an App. This is the type of question that comes up a lot with our clients: http://savvycomsoftware.com/services/iphone
