3G iPhones Already Outnumber 2.5G units?

iphone 3g outnumbers iphone 2.5gWhen Steve Jobs set some lofty iPhone 3G sales goals, some said it couldn’t be done. Well, to the naysayers dismay, it looks as though Apple is well on its way to its goals, and then some. With the original iPhone selling 6 million units in the first year, it seems as though Apple may pass that mark after about a month and a half. 

According to recent reports, anonymous sources claim that the main assembler of the phones, Foxconn, is pumping out iPhones to the tune of 800,000 per week. Also in the tip were rumors of Foxconn increasing that output in the near future. Now, if you do the math, the iPhone 3G should have passed the 6 million mark within the week.

Another report based on a more anonymous tips in BusinessWeek estimates that number to be even higher. The report claims that Foxconn, in fact, produces iPhones at a rate of 150,000 per day, which comes out to just over a million per week. With these numbers, Apple would have the stock to sell over 40 million phones in 2009.
