So the hottest new phone was announced by Apple a few days ago, and has over 2 million pre-orders in the first 24 hours, more than doubling the 1 million pre-orders for the 4S in the first 24h.
Compared to the previous 4S, it's, uh, just lighter, thinner, faster, better battery, has larger screen (4in) and, 4G support. Not too much of a difference, and perhaps less than what's been rumored so far, but as long as others think it's better, it's okay.
Apple's share price has risen around 5% since the iPhone 5 announcement, implying that Apple's value (market cap) has increased by about US$30 billion, due to the announcement and pre-order figures.
I wonder whether Samsung are still considering trying to block the iPhone 5 in the US (and possible repercussions of this).
