NEW YORK — Apple says first- day pre-orders of the iPhone 4S topped 1 million, breaking the record set by last year’s model.
Apple Inc. and various phone companies in the U.S., Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and Britain started taking orders for the phone Friday. It hits stores this Friday.
The base model of the iPhone 4S costs $200 with a two-year contract. It has a faster processor and an improved camera compared with last year’s model. However, some customers and investors were disappointed that Apple didn’t launch a more radical new model. It has been more than a year since Apple’s previous model was released.
Apple has also expanded the number of carriers in each country that sell the phone.
