25 million iPhone 5s in 2011 Expected by apple

25 million iPhone 5s in 2011 Expected by apple - It’s well established that consumers tend to go a little spend-crazy whenever Apple releases a new version of the iPhone. And, with the iPhone 5 looming large on the horizon, we’ve been wondering whether sales will be similarly high come the mooted September launch.

Well, a report published by The Wall Street Journal claims Cupertino-based Apple has informed its hardware suppliers that it expects to sell a massive 25 million units of the glitzy iPhone 5 in 2011.

“Apple’s sales estimates of the new iPhone are quite aggressive,” an anonymous industry insider relayed to the Journal.

“It told us to prepare to help the company meet its goal of 25 million iPhone 5 units by the end of the year,” they added. “The initial production volume will be a few million units… we were told to ship the components to assembler Hon Hai in August.”

Citing unnamed component contractors connected to the creation of Apple’s iconic smartphone, the report also outlines a selection of the iPhone 5 features likely to be included on the upcoming handset.
