iPhone 5 pre-orders topped two million units in just 24 hours.That's more than double the previous record of one million held by iPhone 4S, according to Apple.While the company says the majority of pre-orders "will be delivered" to customers in time for the iPhone release date of September 21, it adds that "many are scheduled to be delivered in October"."iPhone 5 pre-orders have shattered the previous record held by iPhone 4S and the customer response to iPhone 5 has been phenomenal," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing."iPhone 5 is the best iPhone yet, the most beautiful product we've ever made, and we hope customers love it as much as we do."iPhone 5 features a bigger screen than its predecessors, a smaller dock connector and metal casing, along with enhanced first-party apps via the new iOS 6 update, and significantly faster processors which Apple says makes it capable of playing "console quality" games.

Console quality? The iPhone 4S beat out console games in the form of graphics. That's a sign that we need a new generation of consoles.

That's pretty sad considering that I have a 6 lb rectangle that can be out performed by a 150 gram phone (rough estimations of course). If that's not a sign then I do not know what it.

I have not decided yet on whether or not I will be pre-ordering, or purchasing, the iPhone 5. Of course my contract is up in February so I'd have to pay an extra $200 to purchase it before then, which is a huge downfall. I have to admit, I do love my Dad's iPhone 4S though.

My God.. People are already camping out for the iPhone and it's only Monday! Relieved I pre-ordered.. can avoid all the hassle.

That is crazy, there is no way in hell I'd camp out for anything, especially for that length. I see no point, why not just pre-order it in the warmth and comfort of your home? What did people do before the days of modern technology..

I'm due an upgrade from my iPhone 4 but I don't think I'm going to go for the 5, not particularly impressed. Crazy figures also.

Kinda pains me to see people getting super excited over almost the same thing as the previous model. The only way I'd go back to an iPhone is if I saw enormous change in the new phone.

What do you mean no change? They improved the processor and GPU, increased the length of the screen, bringing in new software changes, and a new camera.

What were you looking for?

That's exactly what I was thinking. I suppose they all want it on the release date, I don't mind waiting an extra week for it to be shipped to my home directly. They showed the line on tv & one of the people lined up was no more than 14. School < waiting in line. Priorities are in place.

My iPhone 4 worked better than good with its processor. Honestly don't see it making that much difference. The length of the screen is only 4 or so, which is still too small for me. The software I don't really care about. Same design on every iPhone.
