During the Q4 financial results call, Apple announced that an impressive 1.3 million iPhones were sold since its release in June. These impressive sales numbers accounted for $118 million in earnings from iPhones, accessories, and payments from AT&T. Interestingly, Tim Cook announced during the call that Apple estimates 250,000 iPhones were purchased with the intent to unlock. To put it into perspective, this means that a whopping 18% of all iPhones sold were <i>potentially</i> purchased for use on a network other than AT&T. <!--break-->
Of note, downloads of anySIM unlocking software were estimated to be 500,000, indicating that users on the AT&T network have likely used the software as well. Taking iPhoneSimFree into account, it's very likely that AT&T iPhone customers enjoy the flexibility of having more than just one carrier available to them.
