Thats because there are probably equal number of unlocked iPhones going around on T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon, Rogers, Telus and the likes. I am from Canada and four of my buddies at work have iPhones....all with Canadian service providers... I think Apple is selling tonnes of iPhones and would definitely be close enough even if they don't meet the 10 million phones target by the end of the year.

I think it is a very bad move for ATT. While it is great for the telco world (people pushing the ARPU higher), it underscores the fact that these customers are not really ATT customers. They are apple's. So it repositions ATT as "iPhone pipe". The problem is that there can be other pipes as soon as the exclusivity is over. As soon as there are enough knockoffs (can you spell Samsung) it is going to be back to competition on devices. this is where ATT will lose their shirt - exactly because they *are* iphone.

From your own summary, AT&T had 5 million new subscribers. Churn doesn't matter if you're just looking at iPhone sales. So, only 20% of new subscribers had to be iPhone subscribers to hit the 1 million mark. But it gets better. Later in your summary AT&T says "40% are new to us". So, 60% of their new iPhone users are existing customers and wouldn't be in the new subscriber counts. That means less than 10% of AT&T's new subscribers had to be iPhone subscribers to hit the 1 million mark. Sure seems reasonable to me. I think you’re seriously misreading the numbers here.
