Apple Sold 2M iPhone 5s in 24 Hours

Looks like the iPhone 5 might be the apple of Apple's eye: Tim Cook and Co. say they hawked 2 million of the smartphones in the 24 hours after it went on sale at 3am Friday. That number not only "suggests that iPhone 5 is running well ahead of iPhone 4S," as one analyst says, but also that demand is running well ahead of supply; Apple says most orders will be filled on Friday, but the surge means that some won't be delivered until next month, reports the AP. Apple's stock was flirting with the $700 mark this morning in response. (More iPhone stories.)
