More than two million orders in one day have forced Apple to rectify his intention to deliver on all phones reserved on Friday, departure date of the iPhone 5 in the U.S..

The demand to get the new  iPhone 5  is exceeding expectations of Apple, already high in itself, and has achieved two million bookings in just 24 hours, which is double the previous record of one million units set by the  iPhone 4S .

By overcoming the initial availability, not all pre-orders of the phone will be delivered to the users on the 21 and many will not be until October. However, this avalanche of orders boosted the shares of the company to almost $ 700, the maximum price that Apple has made in its history.

Several analysts estimate that Apple will sell 5 million phones during the first three days (the previous model garnered 4 million sales in the same period of time). Other predictions go further and set the total sales of the new smartphone from nine to ten million units.

Meanwhile,  Apple  has just announced that it will open its ninth  Apple Store  Spanish in Valladolid. The new store, located at the mall Shopping River , will open on September 20 at 10:00 am.

Naturally, the new store will have a staff of specialists trained to help customers understand and test the new products of the company, the popular  Genius Bar , as well as free workshops and youth programs.
