in first 24 hours and its from cnet.com published on September 16th. The
article talks about how the new iPhones preorder was up to 4 million within
the first 24 hours. The article compares how the iPhone 5 when released only
sold 2 million in the first 24 hours. Also the article talks about how the
demand has caused apple to produce more iPhones and compares the sales
of this iPhone and previous iPhone saying how this may be a record breaking
launch for apple in all of its history.

problems and few solutions. I found the article using Google Chrome on
Techtimes. The next article I found is titled ios 8 adoption lags behind that of
