Gene Munster is raising his September iPhone estimates
from 22 million to 27.2 million units given the confirmation of the iPhone
5 launch on September 21. As
previously noted, he believes
that Apple could sell between 6-10 million iPhone 5s by the end of September.
Munster notes the company sold 4 million iPhone 4GS’s in its three day
launch weekend last year.
Historically, first-weekend sales of new
iPhones have ramped up significantly with the debut of each successive model.
The iPhone 3GS sold more than one
million units during its first
weekend at market. The iPhone 4 sold
more than 1.7 million. And the iPhone 4S sold
more than four million.
Apple is expected to report sales of between
22 million and 23 million iPhones during the September quarter. But if Apple
ships its next-generation iPhone on Sept. 21, as expected, sales could be even
higher.
According to Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, iPhone
sales for the period could range between 26 million and 28 million units, with
the bulk of that increase occurring the week of Sept. 21.
