iPhone 5 Registers Over 2 Million Preorders In 24 Hours

Shatters earlier record of the iPhone 4S, which received a million bookings in the same time period.

 

Apple registered 2 million pre-orders for the iPhone 5 in the first 24 hours. That figure is more than twice what the iPhone 4S registered in the same time window post-launch. The smartphone was launched on the 13th of September. It is the lightest and thinnest iPhone to date, with a larger screen size (4" against 3.5") compared with its predecessor. The A6 CPU also makes it faster than earlier iPhone iterations.

Available in black and in white, the iPhone 5 is scheduled to be available in the US on the 21st of September with the 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB versions costing $200 (approx Rs 10,100), $299 (Rs 16,300), and $399 (Rs 21,600) respectively. The handset will be also launched in 22 European countries on the 28th of September. Availability in the Indian market is yet to be confirmed, but we can expect it to be out by November — around Diwali time. We're also guessing that Apple will hasten to make it here before the new Windows Phone 8 devices do.
