Apple Inc (AAPL.O) is expected to launch a high-speed wireless version of iPhone in the coming months and produce as many as 6-8 million of the devices in the by this year end.
“Our latest channel checks point to a significant production build of a 3G iPhone beginning in the month of June after an initial small build in May,” as said by Bank of America analyst Scott Craig.
According to AT&T, last year it expected to sell a 3G version of iPhone in 2008, but it did not comment on the expected launch dates. Apple representative Jennifer Bowcock declined comment.
Craig said that now he expects production volume to be much higher then estimated Apple planned to build more than 3 million high-speed iPhones in May followed by more than 8 million in the third quarter of the year.
Current Analysis analyst Avi Greengart said it would make sense for Apple to bring out its high-speed iPhone in June around the time it launches an upgrade to iPhone software.
Apple expects to sell around 10 million iPhones by the end of 2008. It said in January that it had sold more than 4 million iPhones since the phone was launched in June.
