70% of AT&T's iphones were upgrades. Not new users, just upgrades. The people that I know that have iPhones every year get the new model. I don't know if they are insane or in some cult, but I do know that every year they end up with the latest version. I have no idea what they have done with the other 4 previous models but I would guess they are probably in some drawer.

The point is that NPD's numbers count users and what phone they use via a statistical survey. The numbers from the carriers count units, not users. Comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges.
