Apple's iPhone 6 sold 4 million pre-orders in 24 hours...

Apple has sold a record number of iPhones during its initial pre-order weekend sales, topping the charts with 4 million units moved between when it kicked off pre-sales early Friday morning and the end of the same day. The store experienced some technical problems owing to volume, but that didn’t stop the 6 Plus from selling out quickly, followed by the iPhone 6 later in the morning. Apple claimed a “record” number of preorders on September 12, before announcing the official total today.

That’s twice the number of pre-orders achieved in 24 hours by the iPhone 5 back in 2012, which managed two million pre-orders in its initial day of pre-sales. Apple didn’t publicly release pre-order numbers for the initial day of iPhone 5s and 5c sales last year, but estimates pegged them at somewhere around 2.2 million according to some analyst projections.

I still just don't get the appeal of the iPhone, I've used them when I had to (my ex had one) and I just don't care for the interface. iTunes is a pain in the ass. And getting an app published (from a developer perspective) is a real pain in the ass for very little reward.

I do wonder though how long until they make their way to Cambodia in mass like the previous versions did? How much corruption money will make its way into Apple's pocket?

it's always been a Cult, even in the 80s, and nobody ever found a rational explanation, Apple is the only company that ever managed to attract such an amount of rich suckers.

the iphone it's not even a phone anymore, it's a fashion accessory and that's why it's selling like hot cakes, no matter if the actual value is probably 100$ and manufactured by underpaid enslaved workers in Guangdong.

middle class users and especially women will pay any price to be fashionable, an equivalent android phone will just look cheap even if it's a Sony or Samsung.
