Apple announced today that the iPhone 4S had a record one million preorders on the first day.

“We are blown away with the incredible customer response to iPhone 4S,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “The first day preorders for iPhone 4S have been the most for any new product that Apple has ever launched and we are thrilled that customers love iPhone 4S as much as we do.”

Needless to say, the iPhone 4S sold out. Orders currently being placed have a ship date of two weeks out. The previous record for first day sales was held by the iPhone 4, with 600,000 units sold.
