Analysts’ estimates of Q3 2010 iPhone unit sales vary widely

Invisible Shield for Apple iPhone 4!“As it has for the past three quarters, the iPhone will almost certainly represent the single biggest portion of Apple’s considerable revenue stream when the company reports its fiscal third quarter earnings two weeks from Tuesday,” Philip Elmer-DeWitt reports for Fortune.

“How big?” Elmer-DeWitt asks. “That’s harder than usual to say. We know that Apple sold at least 1.7 million iPhone 4s in the last three days of the quarter, which ended June 26. What we don’t know is the extent to which customers held off buying the old iPhone after Gizmodo leaked specs of the new one on April 19 — three weeks after the quarter started.”

Elmer-DeWitt writes, “The estimates of the analysts we’ve polled are all over the lot, from a low of 7.44 million from J.P. Morgan’s Mark Moskowitz to a high of 9.5 million from Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster.”
