AT&T: 2.4 million 3G iPhones activated from July to September

Earlier this week, Apple executives shared the company's fourth quarter financial results. It was a great quarter for Apple, including 6.8 million iPhones sold in June, July and August. During the call, Apple declined to report carrier-specific numbers.

Now, AT&T is reporting that 2.4 million 3G iPhones were activated during that time (that's global sales vs. US activations). It's noteworthy that 1.7 million of those were new subscription customers, representing the largest quarterly increase ever for AT&T.

What's also noteworthy is that US sales account for just 34.8 percent of the total iPhone market, a number likely to shrink even further when the African and Middle Eastern markets are expanded in the coming months.

Scott Ive had my 3g iphone since july, I never had any dropped calls (thought I dont make that many calls). My fiancee got her's in may and she did have some dropped calls but since Update 2.1 she has not had any issues with dropped calls. This is in Boston so it might depend on your area

Maybe that is why 3G continues to have dropped call problems... they cannot handle all of the new traffic on their network. I am about to get my first iPhone & dropped calls are a concern of mine.

I thought it was 1/3 were new customers. That would be a little over 900,000

I have to agree with Blu-Sam, what's up with the number 14?

14 days until the new Mac Minis?
14 weeks until the new iPod Touches?
14 years until the touchscreen Mac?

Hmmm....
