AT&T Sold About 8.2 Million iPhones in the December Quarter

AT&T announced that it sold over 10 million smartphones in the December quarter.  This is about one million more smartphones than was alluded to when AT&T’s mobility CEO, Ralph de la Vega, made comments on December 5 that the company would sell 26 million smartphones in 2012.  Since AT&T had sold about 16.7 million smartphones in the first three quarters that meant that the company was on-track to sell 9.3 million in the December quarter (however one should always allow for some cushion when management is making forward looking statements).
