The Apple iPhone 4S was launched on Tuesday and telecom companies have already received orders for 200,000 phones in the first 12 hours since the pre-orders started. Was the figure a result of Tim Cook's planning or people's love for Steve Jobs?
TIM COOK will be a mighty happy man right now for having launched the Apple iPhone 4S on Tuesday. However, the dismal news that followed a day after from the company must have shattered a lot of hearts and hopes, but for sure it does catapult Cook’s positioning amongst buyers and investors alike.

Telecom giants who had tied up with the tech giant Apple said that the launch of Apple iPhone 4S is by far the best launch the company has ever had. For instance, the Dallas based AT&T in its initial reports said that the company has received pre-orders for the iPhone 4S running into 200,000, in the first twelve hours. AT&T’s rivals Sprint Nextel and Verizon Wireless had started taking pre-orders for the Apple iPhone 4S on Friday and their reports are awaited.
However, analysts say that the reason behind such high demand can be attributed to the demise of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, ad perhaps not so much on the new Apple CEO Tim Cook. Nevertheless, the stratospheric sales of the phone has resulted in making the launch one of the most successful one in the history of Apple. It can be said that that maybe it’s the love for Jobs that led to such sales. Apple is likely to disagree as even in past launches of Apple products, when Jobs was alive, every product launch was followed by high consumer demand and orders.
People from all quarters of professions loved Jobs as the maverick inventor and they firmly believed that Job's Apple was the third apple to change the world after the fabled Forbidden Fruit and Newton, which in their own ways, too, had changed the world.
