5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
Another point of difference is that Portelligent estimated the touchscreen cost at $US60, whereas iSuppli's figure was $US51.50. iSuppli notes that its original estimate of the parts and manufacturing cost - made in January from the limited information announced by Apple and without access to an iPhone - was $US264.85. The two numbers are impressively close to each other, but we do not know how close they are to the actual cost incurred by Apple. iSuppli predicts 4.5 million iPhones will be shipped this year, rising to around 14 million next year. That is well above Apple's stated target of 10 million in 2008. iSuppli further predicts shipments in excess of 30 million in 2011. |
