iPhone 5 lands over two million pre-orders in first 24 hours
That's more than double the previous record of one million held by iPhone 4S, according to Apple.
While the company says the majority of pre-orders "will be delivered" to customers in time for the iPhone release date of September 21, it adds that "many are scheduled to be delivered in October".
"iPhone 5 pre-orders have shattered the previous record held by iPhone 4S and the customer response to iPhone 5 has been phenomenal," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing.
"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."
iPhone 5 features a bigger screen than its predecessors, a smaller dock connector and metal casing, along with enhanced first-party apps via the new iOS 6 update, and significantly faster processors which Apple says makes it capable of playing "console quality" games.

EndureNote This is a waste of money. It's only slightly larger, has 4G, and maybe a *slight* upgrade to the RAM/CPU/Motherboard. Barely noticeable probably.
I'd say it isn't worth the money till either a few weeks after sale, or a few months.
Samsung Galaxy S3 Wins for me.
Funny thing is the iPhone 5 is barely below the S3 and at a 1.5% difference, which is barely noticeable. Also, how much does Samsung pay to create an S3, I'm sure it's not over $85.
its also funny that the iPhone 5 has twice as much ram as the 4s and the a6 processor is more power full that quad core processor
