Wow, if there was any doubt about how popular the new iPhone would be, the initial sales have put that to rest. By 4 am this morning, the first day that pre-ording was available, Apple's website was already saying that delivery would be two weeks rather than next Friday, as announced. As usual, those who went online in the middle of the night had trouble accessing Apple's website because it was getting hammered by so much traffic. Similarly, by mid-day today Verizon was saying that delivery would be in two weeks, and AT&T was saying 14-21 days. Sprint, however, was still promising delivery by next Friday as of this afternoon.
Apple's stock continues to head into the stratosphere, almost reaching 697 today before dropping back a bit.
