Three big US carrier = 9.3 million, all higher than previous quarter with 9 days of iPhone 5 (this quarter is from July to September, iPhone 5 released on September 21).
Now how do we compare US number with the world?
If we look at Q1 2012, Apple sold 35 million iPhones, with 9 million sold in the top 3 US carriers. If we assume same proportion, tha will be 36.167 million iPhone.
Even this quarter Apple misses, it would give us a better chance to buy dip!
