T-Mobile reveals Apple iPhone numbers

After the O2 ‘we didn’t sell as many iPhones as people expected but we’re still happy about it’ shenanigans, it’s now T-Mobile’s turn to sing a distinctly similar tune. Rene Obermann has been doing the talking, and revealing the German operator has now shifted 70,000 of the devices since launchIt’s not a number that’s gone down well with the number crunchers though, with Hannes Wittig, a JP Morgan Chase analyst telling Bloomberg: “The number is lower than what I expected” and predicting that T-Mo should have said goodbye to 150,000 iPhones. Ouch. It’s not all bad news for Rene, though – apparently iPhone owners spend three times more on data than the average subscriber. A sign of how to increase data consumption or an indication of people who left the email app on when they were on holiday?

  1. Wow, they do this month!!

    Networks saying people spend 3 times as much on data and being happy about that are totally living in cloud cuckoo land.

    As soon as people realise the cost they will stop.

    It’s as simple as that.

    Data needs to be cheaper for any of this to have longevity and greed by the networks will only kill mobile data services off.
