AT&T's profits fell 23 percent with the recession causing customers to disconnect their home lines. The economy did not seem to have an affect on iPhone sales. The wireless portion of the business added 2.1 million new subscribers buoyed by the popularity of the iPhone 3G. The company activated 1.9 million iPhone 3Gs in the period, with about 40 percent of those customers new to the carrier.

So Apple is up to it again... but what are they up to exactly? According to Boygeniusreport.com, ATT is offering up refurbished iPhones for $99 for the 8gb and $199 for the 16gb, but wait... you will get an additional $50 off your purchase. Yes, they are only refurbs, but last time they actually discounted iphones, our wonderful 3G iPhone came out. This is purely speculation by me, but maybe Apple is getting ready to implement a new model. Either there's a new model coming out, or Apple is just clearing their stock of refurbs... :)

AT&T is offering up the iPhone 3G 8GB refurbished models for $99. Of course, it comes with a 2-year commitment, but still it's a great price. They also have white and black 16GB models at just $199. This offer ends on December 31st or when they run out. Clearance before MacWorld or simply clearance?

According to a few well placed sources (one being a Verizon insider), 9to5mac is reported that Apple could announce a deal to bring the iPhone to Verizon at Macworld 2009. This news comes in spite of reports that Apple has an exclusivity deal with AT&T for as long as 5 years from the initial launch. Of course, when Apple first announced the iPhone, word was the exclusivity deal ran through 2009.

AT&T's data network appears to be down this morning along the east coast and fairly far inland as well. Users on Macrumors.com are describing various reasons behind the outage from calls with AT&T, with the most interesting one given as "Apple's Safari servers are down." Come again? Oh, yeah - all the data on every iPhone in the U.S. runs through Safari servers managed by Apple first. How could I forget about that? Right. Engadget has reported on this outage as well.
Has your iPhone camera taken odd pictures showing mis-placed pieces of the scene you want to capture like a live puzzle? If so, you're not alone - TUAW reports on a number of these distorted pictures posted to Flickr by various people, and the phenomenon is being called "iPhone Cubism." Who knew that you could create post-modern art with your iPhone without even trying? This looks like a software bug that will hopefully be addressed in a future update.
Griffin has announced some new iPhone 3G accessories at the IFA Consumer Elecrtronics show in Berlin. The new products are a suction cup window mount, the Reflect hardshell case, and the Streamline sport armband.
Remember that goal of selling 10 million iPhones by the end of the year that Apple has set? Well, it sounds like they are well on their way. Some dedicated fans have gathered data from the general public and extrapolated from it that about 8 million iPhones have been sold so far. Apple stockholders rejoice! -Via TUAW .
