Statement by Apple on iPhone 4 Pre-Orders:
“Yesterday Apple and its carrier partners took pre-orders for more than 600,000 of Apple’s new iPhone 4. It was the largest number of pre-orders Apple has ever taken in a single day and was far higher than we anticipated, resulting in many order and approval system malfunctions. Many customers were turned away or abandoned the process in frustration. We apologize to everyone who encountered difficulties, and hope that they will try again or visit an Apple or carrier store once the iPhone 4 is in stock.”
I am getting a little tired of this from most companies who now think it’s cool to have their servers and all fall down on launch day for their product. You guys are supposed to be technology companies. I am sure that you can hire on more server power for launch day, and return to normal levels when the glut is finished. I’m sure there are companies that can do this.
