AT&T: iPhone 6 was the biggest pre-order launch day ever

AT&T has just issued a press release stating the today’s iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus pre-order launch was their biggest day ever.

AT&T’s CEO had earlier claimed that the carrier has already secured "hundreds of thousands" of preorders for the new iPhones.

"It was a terrific day for our customers and us. This is our biggest iPhone, pre-order launch day ever," said Glenn Lurie, president and CEO of AT&T Mobility. "When you combine our best-pricing, the nation's most reliable 4G LTE network, and a service experience that leads the industry, iPhone customers who choose AT&T win."

Apple’s new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus pre-orders started at 12:01 am Pacific. Interestingly, AT&T started taking pre-orders a little early, which probably helped. It is possible that many AT&T customers ended up pre-ordering their iPhones on the carrier’s website because of the problems with Apple’s website, which was down for most people for almost 3 hours.

AT&T has not mentioned how many units were pre-ordered. Apple has also announced that “response to iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus has been incredible with a record number of preorders overnight.”

Did you manage to pre-order your iPhone 6 Plus or iPhone 6? If so, did you pre-order it on Apple’s website or on your carrier’s website.
