AT&T lost iPhone exclusivity a decade ago.
- kkirsche 5y agoYour point? Most customers in the marketplace are averse to change across any service. It’s not uncommon for users to stay with single providers due to momentum.
- slg 5y agoMy point is that saying iPhone users are by default AT&T users rests on the assumption that people have stuck with the same decisions they made about mobile network and phone operating system that they made over a decade ago. That isn't even factoring in the growth of the market overall and the people who have bought their first smartphone within the last decade.
