Apple’s iPhone is turning out to be good news for AT&T’s bottom line. The company’s wireless revenues experienced a significant boost from sales of the Apple iPhone 3G. AT&T is the exclusive wireless carrier of the iPhone. Wireless activations of the new Apple iPhone 3G which hit the market on July 11 totaled 2.4 million in the third quarter. About 40 percent of these customers were new AT&T wireless customers.
It took the cell service provider 82 days to hit the 2.4 million activation mark with the iPhone 3G. In comparison, it took some nine months to reach that number with the original iPhone.
