iPhone 5 sees huge demand with preorder record

Wow, 2 million people who don't realise the iPhone5 is the new balance bracelet.

Oh look I support one of the douchy-est companies in the world!
 
It most likely will, probably exceeding it quite a bit.

Not so sure about that. Apparently pre-orders for the S3 were over 9mill. I can't really tell how many pre-orders the iphone 5 has from the article. The S3 also has a head start of over 20mill.
 
It just might... That's 20M S3s in 100 days vs. 2M BEFORE the iPhone is even available in-store. Anyone wanting to bet we don't see threads and stories about queues waiting around the block for iStores to open on Friday morning... again?

Slight difference in that Samsung's reported sales are sales to carriers around the world, Apple's sales figures are sales to customers.

Here is a direct comparison from the article (like for like):

In the second quarter of the year, Apple reportedly sold 26 million iPhones compared to a whopping 50 million Galaxy handsets that caused Samsung to be the number one mobile shipper in the United States (already holds the world title).
