“The iPad may have dominated the Apple’s headlines for the past three months, but it’s likely that it contributed not a penny to the company’s bottom line in its second fiscal quarter of 2010, which ended on Saturday, March 27,” Philip Elmer-DeWitt reports for Fortune.
“We won’t learn the actual results until they are released on April 20, but most analysts who follow the stock have already made educated guesses about how the quarter went, starting with Apple’s fastest-growing product line: the iPhone,” Elmer-DeWitt reports.
“We’ve gathered some of those estimates and will add to the list as more come in,” Elmer-DeWitt reports. “They range from a high of 7.85 million iPhones from Financial Alchemist’s Turley Muller — an independent with an unusually strong track record — to a low of 6 million from Citigroup’s Richard Gardner.”
Elmer-DeWitt reports, “Even at the low end, that would represent a 58% year-over-year increase from Q2 2009. If Muller is right, iPhone unit sales increased 107% year over year.”

Is that like “pants on the ground?”
“pants on the ground?”
Funny stuff, hopefully not the “Favre” version.
My guess, 7 million. Remember when everyone wondered if Apple could sell 10 million of these things?
I’m going for the higher ground: 8 million
I’m thinking just a little north of 8 million.
Q2 Sales will be high, that’s why Apple pushed the iPad launch into April so it would show up on Q3 figures.
What a better published fantastic piece of information. I remember that I was looking for something like this from a mates of months. I am glad that I observed my path here by concurrence!
