Doubling the efforts of the 4S.
iPhone 5 is the tech buzzword of the moment, and Apple says the device notched up more than two million pre-orders in a day.
It doubles the one million strong advanced demand for the iPhone 4S (http://www.mobile-ent.biz/news/read/iphone-4s-pre-orders-hit-1m-in-a-day/015806) and more than triples the 600,000 iPhone 4 pre-orders.
Demand is currently exceeding the initial supply and many devices aren't likely to arrive to buyers until October, despite a September 21st release date.
Philip Schiller, senior VP of worldwide marketing, Apple, said: "iPhone 5 pre-orders have shattered the previous record held by iPhone 4S and the customer response to iPhone 5 has been phenomenal.
"iPhone 5 is the best iPhone yet, the most beautiful product we’ve ever made, and we hope customers love it as much as we do.”
The jury is out (http://www.mobile-ent.biz/news/read/opinion-a-summary-of-industry-thoughts-about-the-iphone-5/019362) on whether Apple can maintain its popularity with such little innovation (http://www.mobile-ent.biz/news/read/iphone-5-must-be-truly-revolutionary/019338), but the hunger for the fruity devices seems to be insatiable at the moment.
