AT&T has already activated 1 million iPhone 4S’, and activated 2.7 million of the iPhone 4 last quarter in a gangbuster term. But what about the competition? Verizon has just announced their quarterly earnings, and they did extremely well, but not quite as well as AT&T.
Big Red sold two million iPhone 4 units last quarter, still 700,000 short of the number hit by AT&T. However, quarterly earnings were up massively, $1.38 billion up from $659 million a year ago.
Verizon also cited lower than hoped for iPhone sales on the back of expectations of the iPhone 4S. When pressed for numbers on how the latter sold, they would merely say that they ran out on the first day, but now how many units they’ve put in consumer’s hands all told.
While the 700,000 phone gap between them and AT&T may seem large, the previous quarter saw one of 1.3 million phones, so the division between the two is closing. Now that Sprint’s in the mix too, I wonder if that’ll influence things at all…
