Did AT&T Just Hint at an iPhone Blowout -- or Miss? Every few months, wireless carriers inadvertently drop iPhone hints while they're bragging about their latest smartphone figures. That gives Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) investors a chance to glean some insights on domestic iPhone unit sales. What did AT&T (NYSE: T ) just offer up? What a tease Ma Bell just announced that it sold over 10 million smartphones in the fourth quarter, setting a new record in the process. The previous record was set a year ago when the carrier sold 9.4 million smartphones. AT&T specifically said the figures included the "best-ever quarterly sales of Android and Apple smartphones." For reference, the most iPhones that AT&T has ever activated in a quarter was 7.6 million. That's good news for both Apple and Google (NASDAQ: GOOG ) , but AT&T's smartphone sales have long been dominated by the iPhone ever since it scored the first few years of device exclusivity in the U.S. There are two ways we can parse through this 10 million-unit figure: looking at how the iPhone has historically comprised AT&T's smartphone activations, and then how AT&T's iPhone activations have compared to the total iPhone units that Apple reports.
