Exclusive Apple iPhone carrier AT&T reports about profits increasing

AT&T reported third-quarter revenues a little bit more then $30 billions. AT&T’s reported net income for the third quarter totaled $3.1 billion compared with $2.2 billion in the year-earlier quarter.
May be this is result of iPhone trade campaign? If it is so, them iPhone really made a lot not only for shareholders, but for all stakeholders of Apple company.


Are people lying to themselfs speaking about iPhone?

Citing research from ChangeWave Research, Jonny Evans (Macworld) reports that “the iPhone now leads the pack in terms of customer satisfaction among its US customer base. An unprecedented 82 per cent of iPhone owners reported being Very Satisfied with their purchase, up five points since the previous survey in July and by far the highest rating of any mobile manufacturer.” Evans notes that “the research found 16 per cent of respondents who plan to purchase a phone in the next six months saying they’ll buy an iPhone - placing Apple up at the top among all manufacturers.”

It's nice research, but if we take a look from human psychology, we can say, that it is normal, if 82% of people, who bought iPhone say that they are satisfied with their purchase. Why? Just because when you buy the phone, which costs 400 $, you could not be unsatisfied! And it is not only money question, it is also public opinion! You have the iPhone, so you are modern and fashion guy. If approximately 50 % say, that they are disappointed of the iPhone, other part will think it over and say what they really think, not just say, that they are happy to have iPhone in their pocket!
So, my opinion is, that this is opinion, which is based on crowd. All think and I will.
And what about 16% who wants to purchase the iPhone in 6 months? It is simple, they are result of the "crowd" opinion.
I am not saying that the iPhone is bad device! No, it is marvelous, but the premium price put it higher in the imagination of the customers.
