Have you ever heard of rounding? 1.1 million IS 1.119 million when rounded
to 1 decimal place.

C'mon, read the damn articles.
Apple said it sold 1.119 million iPhones for the quarter that ended
9/30/2007 (this does not include sales in the prior quarter).
AT&T says it activated 1.1 million iPhones, "as of Oct. 23," 2007.
You have mistakenly tried to correlate figures that shouldn't correlate.
Moreover, Apples said it has sold 1.39 million iPhones as of 9/30/2007. If
you wanted to use a figure to compare to AT&T's that should have been it.
1.39 million minus 1.1 million equals 290,000. But we don't know exactly how
many iPhones were activated by AT&T by 9/30/07, though it's safe to assume
it's lower than 1.1 million. Ergo the 290,000 figure is probably 300,000 or
higher.
Apple has said, as of 9/30/2007, 250,000 iPhones were sold to people who
unlocked them. Considering the 300,000 figure would include units intended
to be activated, but not actually active, 250,000 sounds like a pretty good
estimate.
Nothing to see here, folks, just move along....

So you're claiming that zero phones may have been hacked?
