If you’ve heard the hype, now you kinda have to believe it. Apple has released its opening day pre-order numbers and it’s another record-breaking day for iPhone sales.
Today, Apple announced a new record for pre-orders with iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 Plus breaking through the four million mark in the first 24 hours.
How’s that compare to the past? iPhone 5 pre-orders two years ago were over two million in 24 hours, and when they went on sale they sold five million in the first weekend.
Could that mean a ten-million sale record for iPhone 6 next weekend?
According to Apple “Demand for the new iPhones exceeds the initial pre-order supply and while a significant amount will be delivered to customers beginning on Friday and throughout September, many iPhone pre-orders are scheduled to be delivered in October. Additional supply of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be available to walk-in customers on Friday, September 19 at 8:00 a.m. local time at Apple retail stores”
If you didn’t get your pre-order in – time to find a plan and hope your carrier has stock!
