Apple iPhone 4S mania continues: 1M preorders in first 24 hours

Apple iPhone 4S mania continues: 1M preorders in first 24 hours

Not that we had any doubt of the iPhone 4S market prospects, given that iOS fans had to wait 16 months for an upgrade, but the latest numbers provided by Apple are simply stunning. It turns out that 1 million pre-orders were placed in the first 24 hours after the 4S page went live in the Apple store. Needless to say that this is a record for both Apple and the industry as a whole. However what's even more impressive is that the previous record (held by iPhone 4) was bettered by good 400,000.

A good portion of those preorders were placed with AT&T, who confirmed 200,000 preorders in the first 12 hours of offering the device.
