Apple Orders 12 Million iPhones
According to some sources, Apple has recently placed an order for over 12 million iPhones.
“Apple has placed an order for 12 million iPhones to be built by a Taiwanese contract manufacturer, according to an analyst citing reports from Asia. The Chinese-language Commercial Times on Wednesday cited Taiwan-based sources within Apple’s iPod component supply chain as saying the phone is due to arrive during the first half of next year.” The iPhone will be a phone that doubles as an mp3 player, and will likely be compatible with iTunes. The design of the iPhone will be similar to the iPod nano (a candybar phone) and will come in three colours–black, white, and silver.
