How many new Apple iPhones did AT&T sell?
Friday, July 03, 2009 - 10:27 AM EST

Apple Online Store "AT&T’s widely leaked 'best-ever sales day' memo ticking off the records set on June 19, 2009 — the day it began selling the iPhone 3GS — is packed with superlatives but notably lacking in numbers," Philip Elmer-DeWitt reports for Fortune.

"But by extrapolating from previous quarters and reading between the lines, we can make some rough estimates... It’s not unlikely that AT&T will eventually activate about 350,000 of the new iPhones sold the weekend of June 19 — many of them Apple Stores — and that actually unit sales at AT&T outlets that weekend could easily exceed 300,000," Elmer-DeWitt reports.

Full article, in which Elmer-DeWitt explains how he arrived at his figures, here.

If AT&T;sold 350K, that is amazing. NO ONE I know bought one from AT&T;. They all bought them through the Apple Store or online from the Apple Store.

I bought from AT&T;since their preorders mean you got one where as Apple's meant first come first serve.

The iPhone is sold out all across Canada and many are now on waiting lists. No matter what the numbers are, the reality is Apple could be selling a lot more.

Want to know how sales are going for that iPhone killer called the Pre? Seems anyone who wants one can get one, a replacement when it breaks, and even a second replacement when that one falls apart too.

I still don’t have AT&T;Apple Iphones but hearing this that they might be on-sale I will surely going to get one. Apple Iphones are the best. I maybe one of the many people who needs some instant cash loans every now. Sudden expenses come up, and you don't always see them coming, which is exactly the kind of situation in which an instant cash loan comes in handy. Otherwise known as a payday loan, it's a small short-term loan that you pay back on your next payday. Since many lenders have gone online, you can submit applications over the phone, or over the Internet. Lenders also use direct deposit to get you your funds within hours, and they also have payment plans to work with you. You could try payday lenders for your instant cash loans.
