On Friday, it officially goes on sale to the public.
Despite disappointment that the form of the iPhone 4S is identical to the previous iteration, each of the wireless carriers, AT&T, Sprint and Verizon, have sold out of preorders for the phone, indicating a higher than expected demand. Apple said that preorders topped one million during the first 24 hours the phone was available — beating the previous single-day preorder record held by the iPhone 4.
The company unveiled the fifth-generation iPhone earlier this month at Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, Calif. The phone looks identical to its predecessor, the iPhone 4, but has speedier innards, a sharper camera and a bevy of new software features, including the highly anticipated virtual personal assistant called Siri.
Stay tuned as we update with reports from Apple stores, Twitter and around the Web about the first day of sales and feel free to share your reactions and experiences in the comments below.
