17% of iPhones are unlocked
Interesting, interesting… other operators should take note. It’s not all doom and gloom…
By comparing the number of iPhones sold to the number of iPhones activated on AT&T’s network, Apple was able to figure out how many unlocked devices exist in the wild: somewhere in the neighborhood of 250,000. That’s a huge number–representing almost 17 percent of all iPhones sold–and demonstrates that there’s a very real demand for an unlocked iPhone.
AT&T, the US exclusive iPhone network added a whopping 448,000 *NEW* customers on iPhones (reports FierceWireless) and upgraded 672,000 existing customers to iPhones.
