A new report are that the AT&T and Verizon, older versions of Apple's mobile devices are outselling some current Android models.Our April checks indicated continued strong demand for the iPhone 3GS at AT&T and iPad 1 at Verizon, as these older generation products with reduced prices often outsold new Android products. We believe this highlights Apple's significant competitive advantage, and these older products help Apple offer a tiered pricing strategy at key channels."
IT was discovered that at AT&T stores, the $49 Apple iPhone 3GS was outselling the Android powered HTC Inspire 4G and the Motorola ATRIX 4G. The analyst also discovered that Android is taking market share away from Windows Phone 7 handsets, but is not outselling the Apple iPhone. He also notes that while Android as a whole has outsold the iPhone because of the large amount of different phones using Google's open source OS, there has been no other single smartphone that has outsold Apple's device.
Despite reports that the HTC ThunderBolt is also outselling the Apple iPhone 4 at Verizon,reports says that it is the latter that is the top seller for Big Red. He expects that to continue throughout the year as customer's existing 2 year contracts expire, allowing them to purchase Apple's phone with a subsidy.
