Apple's new iPhone 4S won't be available in the U.S. until this Friday, October 14. That hasn't stopped a record-setting one million people from pre-ordering the smart phone from Apple and its partnered wireless service providers in the U.S.
According to Reuters, Sprint-Nextel has sold out of the basic $200 iPhone 4S—the first Apple phone among the wireless carrier's stable of smart phones. Veteran iPhone carriers AT&T and Verizon also note backlogs of the new iPhone, with delivery to customers not expected to happen until November 4 and October 20, respectively.
Meanwhile, several tech websites report that consumers in Germany are receiving their pre-ordered iPhone 4S in advance of this Friday's official sales date.
