Is the iPhone selling well?

USA Today reports that early iPhone adopters are overwhelmingly happy with their iPhones.In one of the first such studies, 90% of 200 owners said they were "extremely" or "very" satisfied with their phone. And 85% said they are "extremely" or "very" likely to recommend the device to others, says the online survey conducted and paid for by market researcher Interpret of Santa Monica, Calif. The firm surveyed 1,000 cellphone users July 6-10.

Of course, early adopters are a special population and may not reflect the satisfaction of later consumers as a whole. Some other interesting statistics that came from the studies are included:

? 51% of buyers were switching to AT&T from another carrier
? 35% of carrier switchers paid an early termination fee (avg $167) to switch
? 3 of 10 were first-time Apple customers.
? for 4 of 10, the iPhone was their first iPod
? New iPhone owners expected to pay about $35 more a month than their previous cellphone.

Meanwhile, Forbes publishes a report that Telefonica SA's O2 mobile phone unit has reached an agreement to become the exclusive network partner for Apple's iPhone in the UK. Sales are reported to begin "shortly". Vodafone had reportedly been a front runner in negotiations but in the end felt that the commercial terms were not viable.
 
I remember hearing something on the radio saying that over 700,000 have been sold already.....I think I might be returning mine
 
we went well past over the 1 million mark since last week. apple won't release the actual numbers until macworld in 2008. steve only wants to sell 10 million in 2008 and half way through 2007, we already hit more than 1. lol, can't wait to see what the churn rate will be as the returns come back from posers and losers that can't afford shit in their lives.
 
Are they ever going to be avalible to t-mobile customers? I would consider picking one up in that case, but I would NEVER switch to cingular again, id rather stick my weiner in a sliding glass door.
 
Have you ever heard of a newspaper? It's not like the answer to that hasn't been headline news 11ty9 times since the original announcement.
 
Actually, the answer to the unit sales question will be out LONG before Macworld. Apple has a quarterly investor conference call and all product sales figures are discussed in detail on those calls. The next one for F4Q07 is in October.
 
Yeah, they will. They are pretty much obligated to, actually.

Apple's fourth fiscal quarter (not Q3) and fiscal year close at the end of September, if Steve and the board don't discuss sales numbers on the call, the revenue figures will be part of the 10-Q filing and therefore leaked in October/November anyway. The SEC requires the 10-Q filing within 45 days of the quarter end.

Are you really dumb enough to think old Steve J would let a mandatory SEC filing steal his thunder? Let me guess, you work at an Apple store and you think you know how Apple corporate finance works, right? lol
 
Oh, and for the record, here are all of Apple's SEC filings:
