Apple announced earlier today that iPhone 5 pre-orders topped 2 million units in just 24 hours.
At 2 million, the sales number is double that of the iPhone 4S from last year, making it by far the fastest-selling smartphone of all-time.
Says Apple: "iPhone 5 pre-orders have shattered the previous record held by iPhone 4S and the customer response to iPhone 5 has been phenomenal. 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."
The phone was unveiled last Wednesday and will go on sale this week in stores and online.
Apple's latest adds a new A6 processor, LTE support, a Retina Display 4-inch screen, a thinner frame and a new smaller 'Lightning' dock.
