“The iPhone has changed the way people think about their mobile phones, and we are delighted to help more customers get their hands on this revolutionary product,†says Brian J. Dunn, president and chief operating officer, Best Buy. “Our Best Buy Mobile employees have the training and expertise to deliver the best experience possible for our customers -- from the initial purchase through the life of their iPhones.â€

On the other hand, the Best Buy deal could be an indicator that Apple is successfully ramping up handset production to meet consumer demand, he adds.
