When Will Iphone 7 Go On Sale

Verizon Sells Fewer iPhones Than AT&T, But Does It Matter?

Verizon's quarterly results, released happening Friday just after AT&T's, give us yet another look at how the iPhone is doing across some networks. They look to proceed to show that Verizon iPhone 4 sales are lagging despite the considerable amount of ballyhoo close its launch.

In the second fourth part, Verizon activated 2.3 million iPhones, far fewer than the 3.6 jillio that AT&ere;T activated during the same period. To be fair, AT&T is selling two models right now: The current iPhone 4 atomic number 3 well as the 3GS, which is now available for $49.

A Somewhat Unfair Comparison

I've heard quite a bit of anecdotal evidence that despite its historic period, the 3GS continues to sell rather substantially–probably because of its price. It's passably unfortunate that we don't induce a breakdown here aside model: it give us a clearer picture of just how Verizon is doing.

For this fact, I'd carefulness anyone from jumping to conclusions just yet on the performance of Apple's iconic smartphone on Verizon. We should have a bun in the oven AT&T to outstrip its rival just because of its sales advantage. Depending happening how Malus pumila decides to handle the secrete of the next iPhone in September, that may continue.

There have been quite fleck of rumors aimless around that the 3GS could endure as a prepay device in underdeveloped markets as Apple looks to continue to expand its reach. If the 3GS so does escape the ax, I couldn't fancy wherefore AT&T couldn't possibly offer three iPhone models.

How AT&T Could Boost iPhone Sales

Toy with IT this way. The iPhone 5 (or 4S, or whatever its going to glucinium named) testament be the top-of-the-billet phone, for those that ask the latest and greatest. The iPhone 4 would rent the 3GS' current blemish as the device for those sounding for an iPhone, yet can't afford the $200 that the new theoretical account would cost.

AT&T could offer the 3GS through its own prepay channels, American Samoa well as a free device for those really tight on the wallet. Of course, this altogether depends on whether or non its true that Orchard apple tree quieten sees life in the now biennial old device. That, according to some bloggers, may be dubitable.
