Apple to sell 12 million iPhones in 2008 at reduced price
A US-based technology business research firm has predicted that Apple will surpass its projected 10 million iPhones sold for 2008. However, many of the expected 12 million iPhones to be sold will cut into already slowing iPod sales and the price will be reduced from the premium level that Apple has placed on its yet to be released handset.
TBR says in its fourth quarter report on Apple that Apple has openly said to achieve the goal of selling 10 million iPhones by 2008 and that seems within reach. TBR further expects the sale of 12 million iPhone sin 2008 considering the fact that MOTO RAZR has done wonders in the last three years. So, it implies that a fampus cellphone model has the potential to make a wide impact.
TBR says that the iPod market is shrinking at a good pace and the iPhone seems to be a just right thing now. The deceleration in iPod revenues and shipment growth signals a maturing market. Moreover, there are good chances of a slash down in pricing of the handset that is yet to come into the market.
