According to numbers from iSuppli, Apple's iPhone outsold all smartphones in the United States in July. This represents its first full month of sales and accounted for 1.8% of all U.S. mobile handsets.
The two models of the iPhone on the market sold more than Research in Motion's Blackberry series, the entire Palm portfolio and any individual smartphone model from Motorola, Nokia or Samsung.
The data was collected through a consumer survey of 2 million participants in the U.S.
- 57% of iPhones bought in July were U.S. consumers 35 years or younger - 52% Male, 48% Female - 1/4 of iPhone purchases switched to AT&T from another provider.
Apple had previously stated that they expect to sell one million iPhones by the end of September, with a longer term goal of grabbing 1% of the cell phone market.
