Analyst group Pacific Crest is claiming that Apple has slashed the number of iPhones it plans to build before the end of the year. According to their sources, Apple is ordering only 14 to 15 million units of the 3G. You can be guaranteed that the units will still fly off the shelves however… So the move will most definitely hurt component suppliers for the iPhone. Reduced production means reduced profits for them!
Pacific Crest has also noted that the 8GB model remains the most popular. Check out any Apple Store these days and chances are they are either out-of-stock on the 8GB, or there are very few left. I can attest to this personally. I went to a Rogers store earlier in the week to pick up a 16GB iPhone 3G, and they ran out of 8GB units some time ago. Thankfully they had quite a few 16GB units in stock, so I picked one up and was on my merry way. I like the white look available in the 16GB anyways… Gives me that nice, classic iPod feel.
