Well then I think there is something funny going on. Apple boasted that they broke pre-order records with 2 million. And yet, most of those people got notices that they will not get their device until after October. I have 3 friends who got said pre-order notices. So all of a sudden they sold 5 million to consumers and those people that pre-ordered are still waiting for their phone? I'll be honest, I'm just as confused as anybody else by the way they are crunching their numbers.

Pre-order are sales... Apple received cash for that... and retail receive more units even if the pre-order consumers not. It's all depend of contract made with the retail... I know the pre-order contract have terms to made the consumers wait the delivery.

For me Apple is not counting the pre-orders not delivered and I think they should.
