iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus pre-orders top 4 million units in 24-hours

Setting another record for pre-orders, Apple said today that the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, the largest iPhones ever made, received over 4 million pre-orders. The devices, which come to stores on September 19th, are expected to be in short supply, so we should see some lines of people trying to get the devices on day one. Many iPhone preorders aren't scheduled to get to customers until October.

"Demand for the new iPhones exceeds the initial pre-order supply and while a significant amount will be delivered to customers beginning on Friday and throughout September, many iPhone pre-orders are scheduled to be delivered in October. Additional supply of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be available to walk-in customers on Friday, September 19 at 8:00 a.m.," said a statement from Apple.

iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus pre-orders now open

Apple has opened up its pre-order page for unlocked iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus which are slated to arrive in Canada on the 19th. Ordering systems in Canada opened at 3 AM without issue while some buyers in the US were frustrated by glitchy pre-order pages.

Aside from two sizes at 4.7-inched and 5.5-inches, interested parties will have to select a finish (silver, gold and space grey) and capacities ranging from 16GB, 64GB or 128GB. As for carriers, TELUS, Rogers and Bell all have their specific pre-order pages up and running.

Demand for new iPhones has been traditionally high in Canada and this year, having larger screens, two-sizes and a range of storage capacities, it is expected to be no different. Ordering an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus? Which one are you getting and why. Let us know below.

As the hangover of the recent Apple Event starts to wear off, we've had a chance to catch our breath and let all the information sink in. I've compiled some of the best photos of the new iPhone 6's taken during the launch event and demo area. While the photos really don't do the new phones much justice as the way they feel is just as important as the way they look. Still, here are some shots of the biggest and most powerful iPhones ever.
