AT&T has activated more than 1 million iPhone 4S's as of Tuesday. The nation's second largest carrier announced the massive number on Thursday and said that the iPhone 4S has been its "most successful iPhone launch in the company's history." To put that in a bit of context, Apple said on Monday that the iPhone 4S sold more than 4 million units worldwide over its Friday-Saturday-Sunday launch last weekend. That set a sales record for iPhones over a three-day launch period.

Apple margins on the low-cost 3 GS are fine. What it means is that a two generations old iPhone is outselling Androids at T.

Syl, I need to address Zax for a minute. Excuse me. Zax, is this an example of the value of Sylly's posts? >>Good. That should lower Apple's margins even further as people go for the free 3GS instead of higher margined and battery draining 4Sux.... and as margins go down so does the PPS... LMFAO... too funny...<< Obviously, AT&T pays Apple a healthy amount of money even for the "free" 3GS. And of course, AT&T has already said that the iPhone 4S uptake has set new records for them. Add that to the fact that Apple's margins haven't been falling. They've been increasing. Not even sure what he's referring to with "as margins go down so does the PPS," but we do know that Apple's margins have been doing just fine, despite years of predictions from both you and Sylly that they would fall Considering all of that, his post, which is entirely representative of his usual output, seems to be complete drivel to me. Do you value drivel, Zax?
