Quarter of US iPhones are "Unlocked"; Apple could lose $500M
More than a quarter of iPhones sold in the US have been "unlocked" to work on network providers other than Apple's exclusive partner AT&T, a study says. One million iPhones, or 27% of those sold last year, have been adapted to work on other networks, said Bernstein Research analyst Toni Sacconaghi. Apple recently admitted that the number of unlocked iPhones was "significant".

Jobs should dump fucking AT&T and set up deals with all the other providers. AT&T have by far the worst service in California, dropped calls, voicemails that take 5 days to reach you, fucking mess.

That has never been Jobs' way. That's why he'll always be Bill Gates' bitch. Apple could have moee macs sold and made a TON more money and be a REAL rival to microsoft if he offered his OS on ALL systems not just Apples. But Jobs has always been about propriatary since the 70's. He's not chaning now.

why, if you buy and pay for your phone, should you be tied in with only one provider , and not necessarely of your liking???
You want any other phone, you can choose also your provider . ![]()

'Lost revenue' Mr Sacconaghi said the high number of unlocked iPhones in the US would be a concern for Apple, as it receives a percentage of AT&T's contract fees from iPhone users. He estimates that if Apple sells 10 million iPhones in the US by the end of 2008, but 30% of them have been unlocked to work with other phone networks, Apple will lose $500m (£251m) in revenues. Apple and AT&T have declined to comment on the detail of the report. |

Reading the rest of the article, I did some math and Apple is paid $167 per iPhone from AT&T if I did the calculations right. So for ever phone that is not used on the network, there's so much lost revenue.

good... hopefully one day all the mobile providers will put their heads out of their asses... hopefully, most of them will fail and networks/technology will become standardized. its quite annoying to see the USA always 5 years behind the rest of the world when it comes to mobile phones.

Some of the profit of the actual phone is tied to service contracts, that's why most phones are free.

apple are concerned because most phones are sold at a loss ,the profit is the ongoing revenue, ie commisions from calls ,kickbacks from AT&T etc. ![]() I bet AT&T gave them millions to secure that deal.

personally i think its complete shit that you have to have a phone "locked" to a network. when i buy a TV from sony, they dont say "bossku69, you can only watch tv thru comcast" so why can i only use a phone thru a certain network?
HOWEVER if you were leasing the phone thru AT&T its a different story because its equipement ![]()

bossku69,
but what about if the value of the sony tv was $1000 and they gave it to you for half the price or less if you signed up with a certain cable provider ?. phones are sold at a lot less vaue than they cost to produce. im sure you already know some are only 99 cents or even free. the only dislike i have of apple is that they limited thier phone in the usa it seems to only 1 network,that cant be good ! ![]()

the iphone is the same price (that i know of) if you sign up with a 2 year contract or you go to apple.com and buy it straight out. if they were offering a discount on the product price its a different story but they arent

what about a new phone coming out in the next 6 months after you get muscled into a service contract with one company, that has awesome features and functions that blow all other phones away... and you can't get one because your phone company doesn't offer it? using a cell phone company in the USA is nothing but compromise after compromise after compromise because they operate like mobile phone nazis. |

Pleasurepays,
Usually you can any model you want from dealers who specialise in unlocked sim free cell phones. I have yet to find any phone that couldnt be purchased this way.

Its the same in the UK. If you want an iPhone you have to be with 02. I'm with them anyway, have been for 5 years now and I'm gonna get my iPhone next month. Thing is tho, for the same package I have now and pay £30 a month for, I need to pay £45 a month with the iPhone plus buy the fone for £279. Sucks but I like the iphone. My brother has it and its great.
