iPhone Expected to Maintain High Sales in June Despite Lack of new Phone

AppleInsider reports today that analysts are predicting that thanks to the success of the white iPhone 4, particularly in Asia, iPhone sales in the June quarter should still break even with iPhone sales from the quarter before, achieving a sizeable year on year increase despite a new iPhone not being released in this period.

According to analyst Brian White from Ticonderoga Securities, his sources in Taipei, who he visited this week, have said that iPhone 4 shipments to Apple have flattened out quarter over quarter, which is a much better outcome than the 15 percent drop that he had expected. If the June quarter’s iPhone shipments remain similar to the March quarter’s 18.65 million figure, this would be a huge improvement on last June’s figure of 8.4 million iPhones sold.

White said that production of some components for the next iPhone would start in July, with volume production kicking off in August, ready for the launch of the new phone in September 2011.
