Earlier today, Verizon announced their earnings for Q2 2012, reporting revenues of $15.2 billion, as well as 800k new subscribers. The report also reveals interesting data about the iPhone’s performance with the carrier during the past three months.
While Verizon decreased its iPhone sales to 2.7 million (compared to 3.2 million in the previous quarter), the iPhone still represents 45 percent of Verizon’s smartphone sales. The drop is also unsurprising given consumers’ tendency to anticipate Apple next-gen iPhones for several months leading up to their release.
Maintaining 45% of sales 9 months after the launch of the iPhone 4S is pretty impressive by my account – especially considering that Apple’s 45% consists of only two devices (the iPhone 4 and iPhone4S), while the remaining 55% is made up of dozens of competing smartphones.
Apple will announce their quarterly financial results on July 24th, which will give a good indication of how the iPhone is performing in general across all networks.
