After a harrowing day of problems during the
pre-ordering period for the iPhone 4, Apple issued an apology for the
frustration many experienced while trying to reserve a copy of the
device. The Cupertino based company said that it had underestimated
demand and that 600,000 units of the next-generation iPhone were
pre-sold, which was the largest total of pre-orders the company had ever
had on a single day. The apology was released together with a similar
statement from AT&T. The carrier said that the number of iPhone 4
units reserved was 10 times the number of iPhone 3GS models it sold the
first day of pre-orders last year. The company added that its web site
received 13 million requests to check eligibility for updates, 3 times
the previous record for a single day. AT&T also said it suspended
sales to make sure there will be enough inventory to fulfill the orders
already received and pre-orders will be accepted again if additional
inventory can be obtained. Those who ordered the iPhone 4 up until
4:30pm EDT will have their handset shipped on June 24th. Those who got
in after 4:30pm EDT will have their order shipped between June 25th and
July 5th.
