We know that Apple has been selling tons of iPhones, but the top-selling AT&T phone? With the high price in comparison to many phones? Yes, that is exactly where the iPhone ranks, at least in Q3.

According to research firm Strategy Analytics and its latest ProductTRAX program data, nearly 1.1 million units were sold during Q3, with a total 1.325 million units since the iPhone was launched on June 29th.

The iPhone has become AT&T’s top seller, at 13% of sales, with a rank of #4 overall in cell phone sales.

According to Barry Gilbert, VP of the Strategy Analytics BuyerTRAX programs, “Although the iPhone hasn’t had an expansionary impact in the market, the iPhone has quickly assumed a leading market share position and raised the ante for smart devices. The sales trajectory we are observing with the iPhone could make it the top selling device in the US over the next 1-2 quarters.” Source: Strategy Analytics

We Say: More interesting data: unsurprisingly, the largest segment of buyers is in the 20-30 range, but nearly 25% of buyers were between 50-60 years old.

Currently the Motorola Razr V3 is still the top-selling device in the United States.
