AT&T reports iPhone 3G are Selling Twice as Fast as the first generation iPhone

AT&T posted $30.9 billion in revenue, up 4.7% year-over-year yesterday.

The interesting bit from iPhone 3G perspective is that they have reported that the new iPhone 3G, after 12 days, and despite the ongoing shortages, are selling twice as fast as the first generation iPhone last summer.

Here is what AT&T had to say about iPhone 3G sales:

“The Apple iPhone 3G is a dramatic example of this transformation,” Stephenson added. “In the days following our exclusive U.S. launch of this new device, powered by the nation’s fastest 3G wireless network, customer response has been everything we had anticipated and more. This strengthens our wireless business, and it reinforces our positive view of the opportunities ahead for AT&T and the industry.”

They haven't provided any numbers to confirm this claim, but it comes as no surprise to us as AT&T is subsidizing the iPhone 3G making it cheaper than the first generation iPhone and hence more affordable.

So if you are planning to buy Apple's new iPhone 3G, then don't forget to check Apple's iPhone 3G availability site before you plan a visit to their Store as we hear they are still hard to find.
