Aproximately third of the iPhones are sold to be unlocked

iPhone World:

Interestingly enough approximately 30% of all iPhones are unlocked. And to prove this there is some simple math to be done.

Firstly, Apple revealed that they have sold 3.7 million iPhones last year. Now AT&T, in their recent press conference said that 2 million iPhones were subscribed to their network. Germany, UK and France have around 200k-400k (no official figures were released) which makes around 1 million iPhones. Moreover, total European and American number accumulates to 3 million.

So here you have it. Around 1/3 or 1/4th of the iPhones are unlocked. Even Apple commented that they believe unlocked iPhone numbers are significant.
