The iPhone 6 launch already is shaping up to be Apple's biggest.
The company said in a statement Friday that iPhone 6 and 6 Plus preorders have been higher than ever before.
"Response to iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus has been incredible, with a record number of preorders overnight," Apple said.
The demand was so high, Apple's online store and various carriers couldn't keep up. Apple on Friday didn't provide information about the outages that plagued the Apple Store site for more than two hours after the iPhones became available for presale. But the company said preorders are currently available online or through the Apple Store app.

The iPhone 6 has the potential to be the biggest launch in Apple's 38-year history. Apple reportedly has asked manufacturing partners to produce about 70 million to 80 million units of its larger screen iPhones by December 30, which is about 30 percent to 40 percent more iPhones than it ordered for its initial run of last year's iPhone 5S and 5C.
Apple wasn't the only company who had a good day. AT&T broke a record of its own. "This is our biggest Phone, pre-order launch day ever," said Glenn Lurie, CEO of AT&T Mobility, in a statement.
This follows a comment that Apple had set its own record for launch-day pre-orders overnight.

Maybe because every Apple nerd was on hold for this very average phone only to be disappointed by the phone once they actually receive it. Like seriously what is so new about it other the the size which they finally realized what the market wants. Apple lost my since the 4S , the 5 was the absolute limit and i said if Apple actually release something great for the 6 ill switch.
Have fun with your phones gurls. I'll stick with the 5s tho. I don't see the point in upgrading to the newer ones.
Same here. I considered it, but I know that the 6s will be the release to wait for. The 6 is essentially a slightly bigger 5s with NFC. It is more aimed at people with the 5 or earlier though, so...
I see those androidsters converting into iPhone plus stans
As an android user myself IF I had to go for an iPhone I'd definitely go for the plus.
The other one is not only a lesser version of the plus in every single of imaginable ways but it also has a screen way too small.
