AT&T Activated 3.6 Million iPhones This Quarter

AT&T has just posted their quarterly financial stuff, and while most of it is pretty boring, there are some interesting iPhone related things there. Contributing to their $31.5 billion in revenue was the activation of 3.6 million iPhones — 24% of whom were new subscribers.

Okay folks, who were the people who bought iPhones in June knowing that a new one was coming in Fall? Because that’s a seriously dopey way to get stuck on a two-year contract with an old device.

Compare this to the 20.3 million iPhones Apple sold over the same period, and you see that AT&T accounts for 17.8% of Apple’s iPhone business — still an impressive number, what with the big push into China and the availability of the Verizon iPhone.
