We know that there are already over 600,000 pre-orders for the iPhone 4, but according to Boy Genius Report’s sources, that number doesn’t include iPhone 4’s that have been reserved for pick-up… and if a quick look at numbers from five Apple stores is anything to go by, that 600,000 figure might end up doubled on launch day.
• A “large” New York Apple store had over 2,200 iPhone reservations
• A “medium” sized Boston Apple store had over 800 reservations
• One store in California had over 1,000 reservations, and another in California had over 1,400
• A “small” Texas Apple store had over 900.
With AT&T’s own pre-order system experiencing a meltdown earlier this week, a lot of would-be pre-orderers went for the pick-up option instead. Expect lines at Apple Stores on the 24th to be even more bonkers than usual for a new iPhone launch.
