An unlocked, third-party software capable handset is always going to be desirable, but exactly how many buyers obtained an iPhone with the express intent of ditching AT&T? Apple is putting that figure at around 18-percent of the total handsets sold.
“We don’t know precisely how many people are doing that [unlocking iPhones], our current guess is there is probably 250,000 of the 1.4 million that we sold where people had bought them with the intention of doing that.
