“Apple Computer continues to say nothing about its cell phone plans, but news about the much discussed iPhone continues to leak. This morning, Prudential’s Jesse Tortora asserted that “the production ramp has already begun” in small quantities for an Apple slim phone to be available for sale late in the first quarter of next year, or early in the second quarter. Tortora expects a smartphone to follow 1-2 quarters later, “likely” in the third quarter.”
“He also expects Apple to produce a music phone and a wide-screen iPod. In fact, he believes Apple is planning volume production of a widescreen iPod for the calendar first quarter of 2007, with an introduction late in the first quarter or early in the second quarter.”
More good news for us! The analyst also said that Apple could sale up to 7 or 8 million iPhones in 2007. But this is, again, unconfirmed information since Apple and Steve Jobs said absolutely nothing on an upcoming iPhone. Analyst and insiders have leaked information about the iPhone specifications, iPhone manufacturer and component providers. But the iPhone release date is probably the most unknown information we have right now. 1st, 2nd or 3rd quarter? 2007 seems to be the closest approximation we have so far!
