AppleInsider:
The iPhone was dominant at AT&T, accounting for 80.8 percent of the 9.4 million smartphones sold through the carrier.In the previous quarter, the iPhone represented 56 percent of AT&T’s smartphone activations with 2.7 million units. The wireless carrier revealed that a majority of the 7.6 million iPhones it activated in the quarter were the iPhone 4S.
That’s impressive.
Apple just took one of the two big selling points away from android by entering the free with contract market. The other, “Not being a stupid Apple product”, will be tough to respond to.
So…
Apple has 80.8% of smartphone share on AT&T, and 54.5% on Verizon (where there’s no free 3GS option)– AND globally, they’re taking 52% smartphone profit with only 4.2% marketshare.In what metric in Andriod winning again…?
Who else thinks that the same will be true for Verizon in less than a year?
There’s only so many time one can say “holy shit.”I need to find a different phrase to react to Apple’s success.
