TechThoughts prepared an excellent analysis predicting the number of iPhone 5 units Apple will sell in the next year. Here are the highlights…
Based on the Q4 sales estimate of 22 million units and the QoQ shipment growth trends, Apple could sell 60-70 million units in the Americas over the next four quarters.
In Europe, Apple is predicted to move 14 million units in Q4 and 40-50 million over the next four quarters.
Japanese users will buy an estimated 4.4 million iPhone 5 units in the fourth quarter, and 10-13 million in the next year.
As for the APAC region, Q4 sales are estimated at 9.6 million units and 35-45 million units in the next four quarters.
TechThoughts’ methodology seems pretty solid to me and if you’re into sales figures I can’t but recommend you to check out their complete report. It’s good stuff…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
