Umm, we’ll have 25 million of those iPhone things, is that alright?
Reports from the Chinese news site, Commercial Times, say Apple has asked Foxconn Electronics to begin producing between 24 and 25 million 3G iPhones and to have them ready by June. The sources for this report come from component suppliers and investors in Taipei. In case you forgot, throughout the world at this point Apple has sold about 6 million iPhones, which is a bit off from their 10 million device expectation for June. However, the specs for the 3G device could be what everyone was looking for, which would skyrocket iPhone sales worldwide. There has already been news of companies, such as TIM, signing deals with Apple for this device, and I think it’s going to be a huge announcement.
One thing is for sure, this device has been hyped like none other, and Apple really needs to nail the official specs for it. If they do, the 2nd generation of the device will be a huge success, not only with individuals, but with companies. I can’t wait for WWDC just because of the iPhone announcement that will likely take place, can you?

“ …which is a bit off from their 10 million device expectation for June.”
Apple’s goal is 10 million by the end of calendar 2008, not within the first year of sales. They were very clear on this point.
