4 Million iPhones Sold? Really Steve?

People are not factoring the way christmas gift giving of iphones may play out in activations. I gave my mom an iphone for christmas and she wanted to wait until the new year to activate it. I think about 10% of all iphones sold in Q1 were christmas gifts (which I think is a conservative number) and you will see a spike in new year's activations with AT&T on January 1. I think there isn't as many unlocked phones in the US as in Europe. Consider the alternative - T-Mobile not very attractive.
