“Both Morgan Stanley and UBS use web search analysis to help them forecast how many iPhones Apple sells, and both have June quarter iPhone sales of 50 million partly based on the results,” Chuck Jones writes for Forbes. “Morgan Stanley’s Apple analyst, Katy Huberty, AlphaWise May and June surveys both showed that Apple could sell 53 million iPhones in the June quarter… To further support her view of 53 million iPhones being sold Morgan Stanley’s Asia tech analyst, Jasmine Lu, estimates that Apple has asked its suppliers to build 54 million iPhones in the quarter and that the company may add to its 17 million in channel inventory.”
“This is the third quarter that UBS’ Apple analyst, Steve Milunovich, has published his Evidence Lab iPhone Monitor. It is still trying to find its bearings as it was too low by 5.2 million in the December 2014 quarter and 3.2 million too high in the March 2015 quarter,” Jones writes. “Milunovich increased his iPhone sales forecast from 48 to 50 million.”
MacDailyNews Take: If so, it would easily be a quarterly record for iPhone unit sales as the current high water mark for the June quarter (Apple’s fiscal Q3) stands at 35.203 million units set in 2014.
In fact, It is 340.05 as we speak. All RED across the board.Oh Greece problem!.
Greece and they threw in Puerto Rico for good measure. My money funds are all in the green today.
Look at that chart… The June quarter is typically the worst quarter of the FY for iPhone unit sales. But at 53 million, this year’s June quarter is higher than the BEST quarters of any previous FY.
There will always be some clown who will try to tell us that with Q1 sales of 74 million, Q2 sales of 62 million and Q3 sales of 50 million, the decline is obvious and Apple is doomed.
However, the year on year results are stunning and what impresses me is how Apple manages to sell such vast numbers in the peak Q4 quarter, but is also increasing sales dramatically during the other quarters too.

Hehe, all they did was extrapolate from previous results.

The best way to prevent someone from hitting the target is to move the target.
