“We are blown away with the incredible customer response to iPhone 4S. The first day pre-orders for iPhone 4S have been the most for any new product that Apple has ever launched and we are thrilled that customers love iPhone 4S as much as we do,” stated Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing.
When fans go in for an iPhone 4S pre-order, there’s the option to pick it up in white or black shades. It will be available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities.
