 The iPhone continues to dominate AT&T's quarterly results, as the carrier added 1.4 million wireless subscribers, two thirds of whom bought one of Apple's handsets, according to MediaPost. Even as such, profit fell 15 percent as another 3.3 million folks dropped AT&T's landline service.
In total, AT&T activated 2.4 million new iPhones, some of which were the new iPhone 3GS released in June. The company said that its best retail store sales day ever was June 19th, the day the iPhone 3GS hit stores, according to the report.
In addition, revenue from data plans now makes up 28.7 percent of AT&T's total wireless revenue, up from 22.9 percent from the year-ago period. That's a clear illustration of how much profit things like the iPhone, mobile Web browsing, and texting bring in for the company now.
