iPhone 5 pre-orders exceed 2 million in first 24 hours

i think that this numbers are fakes or apple themself are buying their own iphone. why?, if u see iphone5 is doubling the iphone 4s in everything (literally): the geekbenchmark iphone 4s: 800- iphone 5: 1600.... pre orders: iphone 4s: 1 millions - iphone 5: 2 millions.... to me its too exact. dont trust in that kind of coincidence

Ooh, now that is something I hadn't considered... apple buying its own junk to overinflate its numbers... Wouldn't surprise me, but if some regulatory body found out it would be a bad day for apple

Just need to exceed 20 million in 100 days.

That's 2 million just from Apple. The phone isn't even out yet, and I'm sure the total sales by next Monday will be in the 6-10 million range.

You may be disappointed. During the 4S release, inventory sent to stores was tight except for the high-end (64 Gb) units.

That's what I'm getting too. The 64's tend to sell last due to the expense.

sory - i have 3 iphones and 2 gsIIIs in our house and in real life thats just not the case. and really... if you drop your phone it should break. people need to stop dropping them. but sitting on iphones ive known many people to break front or back glass pieces easily. and i'm 220lbs and sat on my gsIII with no issue.

1st let dem beat 4s record, then they shud think bout the mighty iphone 5

28. jove39 posted on 17 Sep 2012, 08:54 8 1

May be iPhone5 will beat S3's 20mn sales...but then Android has more than one top end offerings...One X, S3, Note, GNex etc...sales are divided...but anyway...sales number doesn't really matter...GNexus is awesome device for $349 unlocked...but still lacks in sales...sales number can only define popularity...not greatness of phone!

37. dr_fajardo12 posted on 17 Sep 2012, 09:26 1 2

dont know how in hell the american is the first country in the world. to me must of them are so stupids. buying an iphone5 WHAT!! ??

7. kshell1 posted on 17 Sep 2012, 08:30 4 8

It only sell that much because other than the ipad its quite literally the only ios device on the market. while android has hundreds and the sgs3 still single handedly outsold the iphone for 3 months.

17. shadowcell posted on 17 Sep 2012, 08:39 4 4

Quid pro quo. It's no feat the GSIII outsold the 4S. The 4S has been on the market for nearly a year.

Why is this always a competition on who sells the most? I look for Android to take on Apple's success and have each manufacturer design a better phone.

Ergo, the new Nexus smartphone.

18. kshell1 posted on 17 Sep 2012, 08:43 4 5

I just think its sad that after a year my sgs2 still outperforms the iphone4s just like the sgs3 does the i5

Here's the thing, you can't fairly compare the sales of a single handset to the sell of all handsets carrying an operating system. iPhone vs. a single phone, yes. iOS vs. Android, yes. But iPhone vs. Android isn't a real comparison. It's the sale of hardware vs. the proliferation of software.

It's common knowledge that Android stomps iOS in market share. But that's also the case when you compare the iPhone's sales vs. that of another single handset.

I like how this guy got thumbed down even though he is completely correct!

Fanboys don't like the harsh reality they can only win device to device. Same thing can be said about fandroids and iPhone record sales

Haha so true. After a while you learn that how many thumbs up or down you have really doesn't mean anything.

I think it's all the screen. Most people don't care what level of iOS it is, or the processor speeds, it's the screen size that says it all.

Just wonder how many are going to be happy with bordered, 3.5" apps while they wait for the developers to push updates out. And what will happen for the people using the older 3.5" models when an app is updated to run on 4.0" screens?

It's not just old users, though. sorry
- its also android users (not only from low end), blackberry, and first time smartphone buyers.

Well said. Apple products serve their users well. They will not always set records, but the iPhone and iPad loyalty is amazing.
