Apple iPhone to redefine the marketHype around the Apple iPhone is like a never-ending storm of praise and criticism. The latest bit of praise comes from AT&T’s COO, Randall Stephenson, as he is set to take over as CEO this Sunday - saying , “I don’t know what your expectations are for the iPhone, but they’re probably too low.”

The CEO to-be, set to replace retiring CEO Ed Whitacre, also reiterated to Lehman Brothers analysts that the Apple iPhone garnered interest from over 1 million people in the US. Stephenson also mentioned that the upcoming FCC 700 Mhz wireless spectrum auction was prime frequency real-estate, but AT&T’s current spectrum position was secure and comfortable and “There’s no real sense of urgency for it.”
