Cingular wants 1 million iPhones on launch day

by Patrick Altoft on April 19, 2007

With the iPhone firmly confirmed for a late June launch Cingular, the official carrier, has turned its attentions to the problem of supply and demand.

We heard last month that 1 million people have already signed up to buy the iPhone and AT&T, the new name for Cingular, are trying to get enough iPhones to meet the demand.

AT&T Chief Operating Officer Randall Stephenson told the Financial Post that he was “hoping” for a million units at launch.

“Our expectations are good. Our testing has been good,” said AT&T Chief Operating Officer Randall Stephenson. “The iPhone is on target to launch in June.”



“We’re sorting through that right now,” he said. “We got a million people waiting to buy it so we’re hoping we get a million.”

If you are one of those 1 million, don’t hold your breath.
