It doesn’t come as a big surprise to us as Apple makes it official in a recent press release that iPhone 4S has received over 1,000,000 (1 Million) pre-orders in its first 24 hours on 7th October. According to Apple, iPhone 4S has surpassed the previous single day pre-order record of 600,000 held by iPhone 4. Here is the official statement:

“We are blown away with the incredible customer response to iPhone 4S,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “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.”

Apple further details in the press release that iPhone 4S will be available at all 245 Apple retail stores in the US at 8 a.m. local time on Friday, October 14th. The handset is offered in both black or white colors. Every customer who buys an iPhone 4S at an Apple retail store will be offered free Personal Setup service, so they’ll be up and running with their new iPhone before they leave the store.
