iPhone 6 and
iPhone 6 Plus have set a new record for Apple pre-orders with more than
four million advance orders for the new iPhones logged in the first 24 hours of availability. That smashes the previous pre-order record for iPhones, set two years ago by the
iPhone 5 with 2 million pre-orders. The pent-up demand for the larger-screened iPhones seems to finally be spilling out, so much so that shipping times for many iPhone 6 models have slipped to a week or more, and all iPhone 6 Plus models have been pushed back to October for any new orders.</p> <!--break--> <p>Said Apple CEO
Tim Cook:</p>
<p>"iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are better in every way, and we are thrilled customers love them as much as we do. Pre-orders for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus set a new record for Apple, and we can't wait to get our best iPhones yet into the hands of customers starting this Friday."</p>
<p>With the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus due in customer's hands in less than five days, there are clearly quite a few customers that are looking forward to getting their hands on Apple's latest. Though, they may have to wait. What are you most looking forward to: the iPhone 6 or the iPhone 6 Plus?</p> <p>Source:
