Where Have All The iPhones Gone?

There is a wide gap between Apple's reported sales and its carrier partners' figures on the number of phone activations.

The biggest reason: By the end of 2007, as many as 1 million iPhones had been unlocked, and may have been linked with rival wireless systems.

What this means is that Apple likely is missing out on $240 million from its cut of monthly charges with its partners.
