AT&T Sells 200,000 iPhone 4S Pre-orders In First 12 Hours

Apple stated that the iPhone 4S hit a whopping 1 million pre-orders in the first 24 hours. AT&T says that the first 12 of those saw them sell 200,000 units, the most successful iPhone launch they’ve ever had. Their brief statement simply said:

AT&T has seen extraordinary demand for iPhone 4S with more than 200,000 preorders in the first 12 hours alone, the most successful iPhone launch we’ve ever had. It’s obvious customers like AT&T’s 4G network, which is the only one that lets their iPhone download twice as fast and talk and surf simultaneously.

If we assume that that doesn’t include any sales on Apple, Sprint or Verizon, you can get a feel for how one million pre-orders were hit so quickly.

Sprint hasn’t given any official numbers, but “we are very, very pleased with the initial first day of iPhone 4S pre-orders,” Sprint Vice President of Product Development Fared Adib said in a statement. “Today’s sales and the overall customer experience greatly exceeded our expectations.”
