2 million iPhone 5's have been pre-ordered on the Apple Store in just 24 hours. This blows the previous record which was for the iPhone 4s, this selling around 1 million in 24 hours. Mobile networks have also recorded record pre-orders with AT&T in the US announcing this is the most popular phone yet.
iPhone 5 pre-orders begin
Earlier this week Apple announced the iPhone 5 at it's special event in San Francisco. With a new design including a larger 4" screen, a thinner and lighter body plus a whole load of new software features this is no doubt going to be the most popular iPhone yet. This is also going to be the fastest roll out of all time with pre-orders beginning today, that's just 2 days after the announcement. The phone will go on sale at the end of next week - Friday 21st September - in a number of countries with over 100 countries by the end of the year.
A full run through of the iPhone 5's features will be coming shortly.
