Not so long ago people were talking about Apple hitting 10 Million iPhone sales in Q4 but recently predictions have been made that 11.3M sales may have taken place this last quarter, blowing away the already hefty figure of 10 Million.
Broadpoint’s analyst Brian Marshall is stating to investors that he expects Apple to of sold just over 11.3 million iPhones at the end of the current quarter, ahead of the previous figures of 10. Marshall also announced that Apple “remains the best technology company on the planet”
Marshall is basing these predictions on several facts firstly the fact that abroad the iPhone is becoming exceedingly popular abroad. For example France alone has reports of 2 Million sales this year alone and also in Britain Apples signature device has moved to 4 different carriers; O2, Orange, Vodafone and just recently Tesco Mobile. Finally and most significantly is the fact that the iPod touch’s sales have increased by 900% this Christmas leading most people to believe that the iPhone’s sales must have also increased quite significantly. In Q3 we saw 7.4 Million sales will we see the 25% increase in sales for Q4?
