AT&T Inc., the second-largest U.S. wireless operator, said smartphone sales in the fourth quarter are likely to hit a record, driven by devices such as Apple Inc.’s iPhone.
The company said it sold 6 million smartphones in the first two months of the period, compared with the previous quarterly record of 6.1 million in the third quarter of 2010. Since December is traditionally one of the strongest months for sales, AT&T said it expects to push past the previous mark.
