Orders for upgraded iPhone set a record
Apple Inc. said today that pre-orders for its new iPhone 4S set a record last week with more than 1 million units snatched up online in the first 24 hours after the phone was announced and routinely panned by smartphone industry observers, MarketWatch reported. The results top the previous one-day pre-order record of 600,000 set by the new unit’s predecessor, the iPhone 4, MarketWatch said.
