Pre-order iPhone 5 Mencapai 2 Juta Unit Dalam 24 Jam

Melalui rilis pers, Apple mengumumkan pre-order iPhone 5 mencapai 2 juta unit hanya dalam 24 jam. Angka ini memecahkan rekor pre-order iPhone 4S yang mencapai 1 juta unit tahun lalu. Permintaan terhadap iPhone 5 melebihi persediaan awal dan walaupun sebagian besar sudah dijadwalkan untuk dikirim pada tanggal 21 September, sisanya baru akan dikirimkan pada bulan Oktober.

Apple today announced pre-orders of its iPhone® 5 topped two million in just 24 hours, more than double the previous record of one million held by iPhone 4S. Demand for iPhone 5 exceeds the initial supply and while the majority of pre-orders will be delivered to customers on September 21, many are scheduled to be delivered in October. iPhone 5 is the thinnest and lightest iPhone ever, completely redesigned to feature a stunning new 4-inch Retina™ display; an Apple-designed A6 chip for blazing fast performance; and ultrafast wireless technology—all while delivering even better battery life.*

“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.”
