iPhone 4S Locks in Over a Million Pre-Orders in 24 Hours

A couple of weeks ago, the internet was all aflutter with rumors about Apple’s next big product launch. Tech lovers were certain that an iPhone 5 was on the horizon, and eagerly awaited the announcement at Apple’s “Let’s Talk Phone” event. Instead, fans of the brand simply got another iPhone 4, albeit with improved hardware. The iPhone 4S looks the same on the outside as its predecessor, but is twice as fast and boasts a more powerful battery.

Naturally, some fans felt let down by the event, hoping instead for a brand new iPhone to fawn over. Reaction was less than enthusiastic, with may iPhone owners seeing the announcement as another cash grab by Apple. These thoughts didn’t seem to have an effect on sales of the device though; the iPhone 4S is being pre-orders at a rate that eclipses that of any other device.


In the first 24 hours, consumers purchased over one million of the new 4S iPhones. The big numbers aren’t entirely a surprise – many Verizon customers were simply waiting for a new iPhone, since the 4 was relatively dated when it game to their network. Additionally, this is the first time the iPhone has been available on Sprint, so the potential customer base has expanded dramatically.


Of course, many iPhone 4 owners are still going to stay away from the product, as it doesn’t represent a significant upgrade from the previous version. A new camera with 1080p video support, faster processor and dual antenna may simply not be enough to sell another expensive phone to someone that’s had theirs for under a year.


Are you purchasing an iPhone 4S, or are you happy with your current mobile platform?

"Despite a booming negative reaction from critics and fans..."

Doesn't matter.

Whatever apple shits out (some of its good shit) is like crack for elitist moneybag hipsters.

Idiots, Idiots Everywhere.

You see, that's why Apple is like a religion, the can come with things like this, and they still will have their "followers" that love every creation even if that creation is a blatant revamp with minor updates.

Shame on those blindfolded iFans

While I feel the 4s'reveal was underwhelming, I cant help but think that Apple is saving the major "iphone 5" for when each carrier has true 4G

4s is just an Iphone4 with better hardware and no cosmetic changes can lock-in a million pre-orders in 24hrs, there is probably a large percentage of those that pre-ordered probably own an iphone 4 already.
