The Apple Watch may not be out yet, but the new iPhone models look like bonafide hits.

On Monday, Apple announced a record number of preorders for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, with over four million devices sold in the first 24 hours. That’s double the number of orders placed in the first day the iPhone 5 came out two years ago.

Apple is counting on the new, larger phones — iPhone 6 has a 4.7-inch screen, while the 6 Plus clocks in at 5.5 inches — to continue the company’s stellar growth trajectory. Analysts estimate the phones will be Apple’s best selling yet. They go on sale in stores on September 19.

“iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are better in every way, and we are thrilled customers love them as much as we do,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement. “Pre-orders for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus set a new record for Apple, and we can’t wait to get our best iPhones yet into the hands of customers starting this Friday.”

Reports suggest that the iPhone 6 Plus is more difficult to acquire as a preorder. It is unclear whether demand is simply higher for Apple’s first “phablet” or the company has only been able to produce limited quantities, a supply problem that has limited initial sales in the past.

Apple stock nudged up 0.35% in morning trading on the news.
