Some Apple fans who pre-ordered the new iPhone 5 may have to wait up to a month before they hold it in their hands.
More than 2-million people got online went in stores within the first 24 hours this week-- blowing away Apple's expectations.
Their last smart phone release, the iPhone 4 set its own records, but the iPhone 5 doubled the amount of pre-orders in the same time period.
Within the first hour of pre-orders opening midnight Thursday, Apple already knew it couldn't live up to its initial promise to ship pre-ordered phones in a week, and said as much.
But now the tech giant says while the majority of pre-orders will be delivered to customers on September 21, many are scheduled to be delivered in October.

Pipeline work can continue at state natural area
May 24, 2013 11:16 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Tennessee environmental officials have given Piedmont Natural Gas permission to resume drilling on a Nashville pipeline project.
Work was halted on May 11 when a mixture of bentonite clay and water spilled from a drill into Otter Creek at the Radnor Lake State Natural Area.
The mud was later scraped out of the creek using buckets and hand tools.
Meredith Benton, a spokeswoman for the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, told The Tennessean (http://tnne.ws/199LA54 ) that Piedmont agreed to 11 new terms and conditions to prevent a recurrence of the spill.
Those include creating a pit to capture any spilled slurry and daily water quality monitoring.
Benton said the department has not decided whether to issue fines or citations.
