“Taiwan-based component suppliers of Apple’s 3G iPhones are expected to see their revenues strengthen substantially starting the third quarter of this year due to sales of the new iPhones, according to a Chinese-language Commercial Times report,” Steve Shen reports for DigiTimes.
“With the new iPhones to be available simultaneously in 22 countries on July 11, total shipments of 3G iPhones are expected to top 10 million units in the third quarter, the paper quoted sources at component suppliers as indicating,” Shen reports.
The report also lists component suppliers of 3G iPhone, including Infineon Technologies, Foxconn Electronics, Sharp, Broadcom, and others.

Hmm, ten million in the third quarter alone.
I guess Steve will make his goal, huh?
The only problem is can they produce enough iPhones to satisfy demand.
That is “shipments” folks, not sales… Of course I am sure they will sell a ton of the new iPhones… I am looking forward to it, and I know several others who are as well.
Steve516 – this is iPhone shipments, not Zunes. For iPhones, shipments = sales. People line up for days because the demand is greater than the supply at the price point.

Thanks for clarifying that for Steve516.

God, why must my Verizon contract expire in August…!?
This is worse than Christmahanukwanzica
I’d love to get an iPhone, but I really don’t want the $70 a month bill.
My Verizon contract ran out in May.
Funny how after two years with a flawless network, it suddenly started dropping calls in June…?
Can’t wait for July 11 – that $70 bill is only thirty bucks more than my Verizon bill anyway, which has no data plan.
So I am glad to pay it!
“Hey, how come there is a semi-colon after every AT&T;?”
Because the ampersand triggers it in an HTML aware form.
If you use the html code for an ampersand, it won’t.
See line two of the table:

Ampersand symbol then amp then a semi-colon yields an &
Just a couple weeks ago, remember that article that cited a “slash in iPhone orders” for Q3 of 15%? If people had read it carefully, they were predicting Apple orders of 12M 3G iPhones for Q3. A 15% “slash” takes the 12M down to 10.2M. The above report puts it now at 10M. If you take the Q4 run-rate as 12M, then add in Q3 at 10M, and Q1 and 2 at around 2M, you get 24+M for 2008, well above Steve’s goal of 10M.
@Jeff: Then the iPod Touch is just what you’re looking for!
Just checking &something;
Ampars right, I didn’t put the semi-colon there…go ahead sprinkle some ampersands around…semi-colons will follow.
Very wrong interpretation of original reports. Actually, that is 10 millionth iphone in 3rd quarter, not 10m in 3rd qtr alone.
Hmm, ten million in the third quarter alone.
I guess Steve will make his goal, huh?

not only that.. will iPhone overtake WM in marketshare in very short order? Hilarious
From the article:
“…total shipments of 3G iPhones are expected to top 10 million units in the third quarter, the paper quoted sources at component suppliers as indicating.”
Ambiguous language – could mean within the quarter, or that shipments IN 2008 could top 10 mil DURING the quarter, and continue to a higher number through the 4th.
Context, context, context!
Jeff,
How much is your current service and what do you get for it? I pay only 10./month to add a line to my wife’s plan then add 20/month for the data and I only pay 30./month for my iPhone service. Sweet!
Of course, if you don’t like to share it will be more but not much more due to the fact you already pay for some service.
Quitcha griping and buy the dang thing.
It boggles the mind to think that if they indeed sell those 10 million units that between Apple and AT&T they will see no less than 1.99 billion dollars worth of cash go through their paws.
What about the 4th quarter then? Or the whole year?
Thanks for the suggestion
