Presented a day before the death of Steve Jobs, the new model has more units available in the Apple store. Hits the market on Friday, October 14 and there are people lining up to buy.

The  iPhone 4s

The prior sale of the latest version of the iPhone, made through Apple’s online store no longer has “existing stocks” and who wish to acquire the mobile device can do so until Friday 14 by going to any local company . The release, for now, just a matter for the United States.

The new model with a capacity of 16 gigabytes is worth $ 199, with long-term contract for two years. It is the cheapest and most available stock, but sold out within hours and, although it may continue to purchase, the customer will be sent “from one to two weeks” after the purchase, as described by Apple.com . The reserves of the versions with 32 and 64 gigabytes, 299 and $ 399 respectively, also ended Saturday.

Both Apple and AT & T carriers, Sprint and Verizon started selling iPhones in advance at dawn on Friday. Only AT & T gave sales figures: 200 000 in the first 12 hours, as points out the Spanish newspaper El Pais.

The craze for iPhone 4S is such that there are already people lining up at some local Apple, like Fifth Avenue in New York to be the first to buy it on Friday.

The volume of purchases on their debut is the most successful iPhone. The website collapsed when Apple started selling online, while telephone lines did not supply, according to the Cupertino company.

In total, and all its versions, Apple sold about 73 million iPhones worldwide, making this smartphone in one of its most successful products.

The iPhone 4S was presented by Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO brand, on Tuesday October 4, a day before it was reported the death of the co-founder and inventor of most of its products, Steve Jobs.

The phone has a new type of chip, 8-megapixel camera, high resolution video and outstanding voice recognition system Siri, to manipulate the calendar, mail and other features only pronounce words.
