Today, it was Verizon and AT&T's turn to reveal how well the new iPhone models have been selling. Verizon executive VP Marni Walden says that as far as iPhone pre-orders are concerned, it is business as usual at the nation's largest carrier. Meanwhile, AT&T senior executive vice president and chief financial officer John Stephens, says pre-orders for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are not only up year-over-year, they are ahead of expectations.
Keeping pre-orders high is the fact that no one could have predicted that the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 would be off the market because of issues with a defective battery. And all four major carriers have deals that offer subscribers a free iPhone 7. Both of these things are helping to drive iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus sales higher than Wall Street and Main Street expected.
At AT&T, iPhone 7 pre-orders are up year-over-year
