Verizon Sells 2 Million iPhones in Q3 2011

What surprised me was the record setting opening weekend sales figures. Astonishing. Not saying the 4S isn't worthy, but I wonder how those sales figures would have looked if there was also a hardware redesign. Anyway, those numbers make all those claiming "if the hardware looks the same, it's a flop" look exactly as silly as they sounded.

More surprising is that people continue to doubt Apple at every turn. It's gotten a bit humorous. Take it or leave it: Apple has been making all the right moves. And shows no signs of slowing. It's actually quite difficult to fully appreciate in real-time. Looking back, I suspect it will seem so much more remarkable.

does not surprise me.

I think Verizon's numbers were lower since we just got the iPhone 4 within the last year and most of us are still in the midst of a 24 month contract.

I definitely can't wait to see the numbers next year, across all carriers, that comes with a redesign when a large percentage of us are at the end of our contracts.

There is much of a backlog of orders right now. The numbers wouldn't look different.

Is it just me or does anyone else notices topics about Verizon or Sprint doesn't carry that much chatter in this site? Judging from lots of previous posts how they would switch to Verizon as soon as they get it or how much cheaper Sprint is with unlimited data, I expected a huge part of macrumors population was making a mass exodus escaping AT&T.

Wow... Even with AT&T's notoriously bad service, and even when customers have a choice of carriers, AT&T still sells more iPhones than Verizon. Just exactly what more does AT&T need to do wrong to get customers to choose Verizon?

I did not know about it before that Varizon is also producing iPhones? How is their market so far and what about their sales?
