Apple: 600,000 iPhone preorders crashed systems

Apple: 600,000 iPhone preorders in one day; crashed systems

wow this thing is HOT and unlocked :slight_smile:

Luckily I got my order in before all the issues. How many of you other Unity Devs will be getting one of these come launch day?

At first, I was very excited for this phone. It looked so awesome. It still does, but I don’t know. Something made me realize that it wasn’t necessary. The iPhone 3GS is pretty sweet as it is.

I feel that the 5th iPhone will be wickedly awesome, and I’ll probably upgrade to that anyways.

Plus, I have a feeling Unity is going to charge devs. to program for the Android (another 200-300 on top of Unity iPhone, probably.) So, I better save up! :wink:

I reserved one at my local apple store. Not sure if I am actually going to buy it but I think I will (my 3G is getting kind of old)

They gave out some info at that boston thing and confirmed what all assumed: Android will be an addon license like iphone, with the same fees like iphone.
So yeah potentially $400 for the normal one but not pro

As for the topic: didn’t crash here, but apple also didn’t presell it here yet. its meant to happen by end of july but if we go by apples track of total ignorance for “non-americans” I wouldn’t expect to see it happen before end of aug like with the nayPad
