In the final quarter of its “exclusive U.S. deal with Apple” AT&T sold 4.1 million units of iPhones and 4,42,000 units of iPad and Android based tablets.
The network carrier published its fourth quarter financial results on January 27, 2011, which had been followed by a more than 3 percent dip in its share prices at the early morning trading as the company’s overall subscriber growth failed to reach target.
The carrier lost many users as the iPhone is about to be launched on Verizon Wireless. It added only 400,000 new subscribers in the current quarter, more than 100,000 subscribers less than Wall Street’s prediction and less than half of the 8,72,000 new subscribers of Verizon.
AT&T reported a profit of $1.09 billion or $0.18 per share which is 46 percent lower compared to its fourth quarter profit of $2.7 billion at the same quarter last year.
The company also observed growth in its “wireless data revenues” to $4.9 billion in the current quarter.
