My guess is that they wanted to hold the quarterly iPhone record briefly before AT&T blows it away with 6-7 million iPhone activations. Oh, never mind-- Slashgear reported that the previous all-time high was 4.1 million units sold by AT&T, but in Q3 2010, AT&T actually activated "over 5 million" iPhones. To be honest, 4.2 million sold by Verizon is slightly below my expectations (my WAG was 5 million). Sprint's recent "guidance" of 1 million iPhones is similarly lower than I would have expected. Relatively speaking, it's hard to imagine how Galaxy Nexus sales could be considered a "record" by any definition, though.
