So it looks like this iPhone 6 device might be a pretty big hit. Apple announced on Monday that preorders for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have smashed all previous records and totaled 4 million units over just the first 24 hours alone. BTIG analyst Walter Piecyk points out that this is roughly twice the number of iPhone 5 preorders that Apple received back in 2012. We can't compare this year's preorders to last year's because the iPhone 5s and 5c weren't available for preorder when they launched.

Anyway, is it really surprising considering the amount of sheep that Apple has these days ? At least I'm not surprised by it.
Those "Sheep" must be breeding like crazy if they got 2 million more in only two years.... So yes, it's still pretty amazing how they doubled their pre-orders.

Wow, even though I'm not a apple fan I gotta say this is pretty impressive

I'm one of those 4 million, order a 6. Of course my company is paying.

That 4 million is mostly just existing iPhone owners upgrading. I doubt they are penetrating market growth. I know 3 other co workers with 4S, 4S and 5 who will be upgrading this year too.

Isn't it great that you can make a quick and simple psychological judgment about the type of person you are dealing with just by looking at which phone they own? Before you actually had to talk to people.

Should I feel bad that I've kept the same phone for almost 10 years?

After owning a rooted S4 (which broke from a simple 2 foot fall) I used my backup 4S for about 6 months and now I am buying the iPhone 6. Although I miss my rooted S4 with Google Play ROM, I am actually really happy to get back to the iOS side. I will be buying the new Nexus phone that comes out too though, just because I like variety.

I think the trend has been to go bigger and bigger, which unfortunately is the opposite of what I would like.

The day an entire "phone" can be housed in a wrist watch is the day that I get my right front pocket back.

Just so its clear, if this gets out of hand I am more than willing to go through and wipe out most of this thread if I have to.
This has been up for less than an hour and half the posts are already deleted.

Keep it civil, keep it professional, and keep it relevant everyone
